The
Meaning of Christmas to Us
Luke
2:8-18
When Jesus was born people
from all walks of life came to see Him. The
keenest minds of all of the ages have been those who have humbly bowed at the manger
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The shepherds came and they
represent the simple, common, ordinary people who are drawn to this baby Jesus
who is born in Bethlehem's manger.
Life for a shepherd was a
difficult kind of life. They were low on
the social scale. Most
people didn't even regard them with a great deal of respect.
When Jesus was born on a
hillside a group of shepherds had gathered, tending their sheep and the Bible
says these shepherds had an experience which brings the wonder and the beauty
of the meaning of Christmas to us.
(Luke
2:15 KJV) And
it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the
shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
The
shepherds were saying, "Let's go find out about it.”
Think
about it. When those shepherds looked
into the face of that little baby Jesus.
They saw Jesus; the Son of God is now the son of Mary. They saw Jesus, the One who fills this
universe is now confined to a little manger.
(John 1:14 KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
