Topic: Receiving God’s Peace, Relationship between Humility and Blessing
Purpose: This message will focus on the special peace (salvation) that comes to those who come under God’s favor (receive grace). The people who heard this utterance are strategic. They were simple shepherds, showing us that salvation is offered to all and can only be received by the lowly of heart.
We will look at the incarnation as having two great objects: bringing peace to earth and bringing glory to God (vs. 14).
Bible: Luke 2:8-17
