The Encouragement is Fulfilling
Luke 2:8-15

Luke 2:8-15
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their
flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone
around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I
bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to
you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God
and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor
rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one
another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has
told us about.”
