Title: Song of the Angels
Contents
December 25 Luke 2:8--20
Subject : Song of the Angels
We need to know that our sins are forgiven through the coming of Jesus.
We want our hearts to be healed by believing in Jesus, who came for those who are struggling with blemishes, diseases, and darkness.
When Jesus came to this earth, now many people know that Jesus came to this earth and died for our sins, but very few people knew when Jesus was born.
Who was the first person you knew when Jesus came to this earth? shepherds in the field
The wise men followed the stars after a long time (Gilde), went into their homes, saw Jesus and Mary, and worshiped them (Matthew 2:11).
Gild -> A 2-3 year old baby (King Herod killed babies under 2 or 3 years old)
The shepherds of the field worship first (the circumstances make it impossible to worship, but the shepherds believe and act on the words of the angels)
Manger -> Lying in the feeder of the beasts.
Leviticus 11 -> Clean and unclean animals
John 6:35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; I will never go hungry.
John 6:55 My life is true food and drink.
Why? Was the birth of Jesus the first to be announced to the shepherds?
1. Because God came to seek the weak, lowly, and lowly.
ㅇ Once the sheep are driven out without a decent home, they live with them in the fields for several months.
ㅇ Those who visit the wounded, lonely and wounded
The Israelites looked down on the Galileans
ㅇJesus came to this earth in a lower form than men
ㅇ Jesus is the one who came to those in need
2. When the local shepherds keep their sheep (Luke 2:8)
Luke 2:9 Angels appear
ㅇ Luke 2:10 proclaiming the news of great joy
ㅇ Parents are like a shepherd to their children (to protect and protect their children without running away even when it is difficult and difficult)
3. Shepherds who give priority to everything
ㅇ Luke 2:16 Go quickly and find the baby (When making a decision, go quickly and make a decision)
ex) Abraham -> Offer Isaac as a sacrifice (Get up early in the morning and take Isaac to Mount Moriah)
4. Not the circumstances, but the shepherds who heard the word and came to them, believed the words of the angels and worshiped the baby Jesus.
Luke 2:10 The birth of Jesus is great good news for all the people.
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom God is pleased.
◎Jesus Christ is the glory of all people, but not everyone is glorified. That is, only those who believe and receive Jesus can receive glory.
