The Birth of Jesus Christ - Luke 2:1-20

At the birth of Jesus Christ, God sent a host of angels to tell the shepherds first. The wise men came a year or two later. In the eyes of God, all men are equally loved. More love would be given to the ones that needed more.


Lessons:

    Our destination is not determined by our starting point. Nothing is permanent except God. Continue to be humble even if we are very successful.

    God reaches out to the common people and is for the common people.

    It is grace. No one can earn it. Mar 2:17 "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

    Miracles, visions, and angels can happen to normal people. Not just the "spiritual", famous, high-ranking people. We can expect a miracle to be given to us.

    God cares for the low and ordinary people. It was the shepherds and not the royalties who were given the miracles and first-hand witnesses for the birth of Jesus.

    The journey to a destination of blessing may not be as fast and smooth as we expect. In fact, it could be a journey that trains us so that we be competent in our destined position. Do not be defeated by the difficulties encountered on the way. They are our learning points. There are high and low points in our journey.
