Today we heard some amazing young people worship the Lord with song and instruments. As I tried to choose a message to share from the Word, I was challenged by the Shepherd's story. Here are these run of the mill sheep farmers tending to their flocks and God chooses them to here the Angel's song. Out of hundreds of shepherds they are the ones who the heavenly host sings to. Hmmm, have you ever wondered why? I sure have. I don't really have an answer. Here is what I can speculate. Perhaps these ones were the seekers, the ones really seeking a relationship with their God. These Israeli Shepherds must have known about the Jehovah God the Bible, but the message from the angels made things much different. It was an amazing event.
So, those of us who heard the choirs sing at TBC on Sunday were privileged to hear a song that the angels would have been amazed at. God gave us a glimpse of heaven. So, no excuse. We need to respond like the Shepherds and go the Savior to worship the Lord. We can believe with assurance and confidence in the wonderful power of the Gospel message. This Christmas "
let us all with one accord sing praises to our heavenly Lord , who hath made heaven and earth of naught and with His blood mankind hath bought."
