Christmas 2024 – The Shepherds

Christmas 2024 – The Shepherds

Caesar Augustus, in order to help unify the Roman Empire, took religious titles upon himself to try and elevate himself to deity.

He decreed that the everyone in the Roman world should return to their ancestral homes to be registered in a census.

This compelled Mary and Joseph to travel to Bethlehem, at exactly the right time for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem, as was required by prophecy.

Caesar was trying to elevate himself to divinity, Jesus lowered himself to human-kind.

There were shepherds in the fields, looking after sheep. Suddenly the sky was filled with angels, bringing a joyous message – The Saviour of the World has been born in Bethlehem!

Today, sharing about the arrival of Jesus is now our job, not the angels.

Everyone who believes in Jesus is qualified to tell others about Him.

Jesus has given everyone everlasting life through His death and resurrection.
