Promised by God, foretold by prophets centuries before He was born, announced by angels…now it was the “fullness of time,” the right time when all was ready for the birth of the Son of God. The Roman Empire had its part to play in getting Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, where Micah had foretold Messiah would be born. And the heavens themselves took part, with a unique star to celebrate His birth.
The shepherds were an important part of the story. Shepherds were looked down on by Jewish society, as dirty, untrustworthy, and unworthy. Yet God chose the shepherds of Bethlehem to be the first to hear the good news that their long-awaited Messiah had finally come. He’s here! Joy to the world.
We will celebrate our Christmas party this Sunday with games, skits, stories, and refreshments. You won’t want to miss it! And it’s a great time to bring a friend to join in the fun.
Tom and Sydney Cook
