In Luke 2:8-14, shepherds keeping watch over their flocks are suddenly visited by an angel of the Lord, who brings them good news of great joy: the Savior, Christ the Lord, has been born in Bethlehem. The angel’s announcement is accompanied by the glorious radiance of God’s presence, dispelling fear and filling the night with hope. A multitude of heavenly hosts appears, praising God and proclaiming peace on earth to those on whom His favor rests. This divine encounter transforms an ordinary night into a moment of eternal significance, as the shepherds are invited to witness the fulfillment of God’s promise. How might we embrace the joy of the Lord today?
