2 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
3 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
4 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
5 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
6 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
7 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. ~Luke 2:8-20
8 Fear: The Recurring Theme Joseph: Don t be afraid to take Mary as your wife. ~Matthew 1:20 Herod: Herod was greatly disturbed. ~Matthew 2:3 Zechariah: He was gripped with fear. ~Luke 1:12 Shepherds: They were terrified at the glory of the Lord. ~Luke2:9
9 Why Fear? Fear is the universal human response to life as God has designed it. Fear not is the #1 command in Scripture. The cosmic fight for humanity is not between faith and doubt, but faith and fear.
10 Reasons for Fear 1. Immaturity: An irrational fear of the dark. 2. Ignorance: Fear of what we don t know, or what we do know incorrectly. False Enemies Appearing Real
11 Reasons for Fear 3. Intimidation: The anticipation that painful past experiences will recur in the future, causing you to shrink back from life in the present. 4. Infection of original sin: The consequential fear of forfeiting a close and constant walk with God.
12 GoD s Answer To Our Fear: The Gift of Peace Peace to all on whom God s favor rests. ~Luke 2:14
13 Who Can Have GoD s Peace? Anyone but only those who respond to God s grace. God s Favor = Grace.
14 A Significant Announcement It is a lovely thought that the lowly shepherds who looked after these Temple lambs were the first to see the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world ~William Barclay
15 A Significant Announcement Salvation is now being revealed to all mankind and it is to be received solely on the basis of God s grace. Salvation is experienced through a Savior, not by self-righteous effort.
16 What Is Peace? Peace is not the absence of conflict It is peace with God. The chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed the punishment that brought us peace was on Him. ~Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
17 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. ~Ephesians 2:13-15
18 What Is Peace? It is peace with God that produces the peace of God. The peace of God which passes all understanding. ~Philippians 4:7 Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. ~Colossians 3:17
19 The Peace of God is the settled assurance that because I am reconciled to God, he will completely forgive me and competently care for me, making me perfectly safe in this present world and in the eventuality of the next... although it doesn t always look or feel like it.
20 SHEPHERDS GUIDE TO GoD s Peace? The shepherds believed! When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. ~Luke 2:15
21 SHEPHERDS GUIDE TO GoD s Peace? The shepherds obeyed! So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ~Luke 2:15
22 SHEPHERDS GUIDE TO GoD s Peace? The shepherds shared! When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ~Luke 2:17-18
23 SHEPHERDS GUIDE TO GoD s Peace? The shepherds rejoiced! The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. ~Luke 2:20
24 How To Receive GoD s Peace Believe it is for you, act upon it, share it with others, and rejoice because Christmas means that God loves you.
