This Christmas Eve message turns our attention to Luke 2 and the surprising way God chose to announce the birth of Jesus. Instead of kings, politicians, or cultural elites, the first people to hear the news were ordinary shepherds working the night shift. The angel declares that a Savior has been born, and this good news is for all people, reminding us that no one is beyond God’s invitation. The birth of Jesus shows us a God who comes near to the overlooked and the unsure, offering Himself not only as Savior, but as Shepherd, security, and peace. The gospel does not simply tell us how and where Jesus was born, but why He came: to lead, protect, redeem, and make us whole. Whether we come to Christmas weary, joyful, skeptical, hurting, or hopeful, the invitation remains the same. A Savior has been born, and He is Christ the Lord.
