“Christ Happily Redeems Intentionally Souls Today Mightily As Savior! (C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S)”

Ramesh C. Reddy

SCRIPTURE:

"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. " (Luke 2:1-7, NIV)

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 of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ 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, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:8-14, NIV)


I decided to focus on v. 8-14 here:

Observations:

I asked myself who are all the characters involved?

1. Shepherds
2. Angel of the Lord
3. Lord
4. Savior, Christ the Lord
5. Baby
6. Great company of the heavenly host
7. God

 I asked myself what do I learn about the shepherds?

  1. Shepherds were living out in the fields nearby.

  2. Shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks by night.

Interpretations:

I asked myself what is the significance of shepherds being mentioned!

Shepherds were usually dirty from handling the sheep, had to be alert to take care of their sheep from the wolves and also from the sheep going astray. It is to those shepherds that the angel of the Lord appeared which is evident from Point 2:

Observations:

I asked myself what is the role of the Angel of the Lord?

  1. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

  2.  “But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

  3. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

  4. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 

Interpretations:

I asked myself the significance of the Angel of the Lord appearing to the shepherds and not to anyone else?

 As I thought about the shepherds, it occurred to me that they become very dirty because they have to clean their sheep, they have to take them to find green pasture, keep them safe from the wolves, and keep them from going astray. Being a shepherd could have been a lowly position and a tedious position.  They could have been down on their job but we are not told. We are told however that they were terrified when they saw the Angel of the Lord and the glory of the Lord shone around them.

 I would not have been surprised if the shepherds thought to themselves, 'We are shepherds and our job is such a lowly position so what do the angels want with us?'

Yet it is to these shepherds that the Angel of the Lord went too. When the Angel of the Lord saw them terrified, the first thing that the angel tells them is ‘Do not be afraid’. Then the angel proceeds to tell them why the angel came to them.  The angel Gabriel does a similar thing when she greets Mary. This can be found in the Advent devotional: Matthew 1:29-30: "What do you G.R.E.E.T.I.N.G.S do in life?" By Ramesh C. Reddy (Dec 21, 12, 11:04 a.m.)

The angel came to them to bring them good news of great joy that will be for all the people by telling them that in the town of David, a Savior has been born to them, who is Christ, the Lord.

By emphasizing 'great joy that will be for all the people', the Angel of the Lord is letting them know no matter how low they see their position and how dirty they may seem, the Savior is for them too. Not only that but the Angel of the Lord wants them to come see the Savior just as they are in their dirty clothes, smelly body, etc.  They were just shepherds watching over their flock by night but the Angel of the Lord saw them to be special. They were given the first message regarding a Savior being born which is Christ, the Lord.

There was no mention about 'get yourself cleaned up and once you are clean and fresh', go see the Savior. On the contrary, the shepherds were told to follow the sign which will lead them to the Savior. Thanks so much Jesus!

I believe the angel of the Lord wanted to introduce them to the One who would become the CEO of all shepherds. As shepherds, they knew how to take care of their sheep from a earthly perspective. They knew how dirty the sheep become and how much they need to be cleaned and washed. They also know how dirty they become when they try to take care of the sheep taking the sheep's dirt on themselves when trying to clean them and save them.

Now the angel of the Lord wanted to introduce them to a Savior born in Bethlehem who is Christ, the Lord who would one day become a Shepherd Himself, not any Shepherd but the Good Shepherd who would take their dirt upon Himself and wash them in His precious blood to make them clean.

When Christ grew up and became the Good Shepherd, I believe those shepherds who were watching over their flock by night could have said to themselves, ‘as shepherds we saw Him as a baby wrapped in cloths lying in a manger (F.E.E.D) and now He has become a Shepherd too and we had the honor of seeing Him born?

It is important to remember that those shepherds whom the angel of the Lord spoke to could have still been alive because when Jesus began His ministry, He was only 30. Shepherds in those days were young whether it was Moses or David as examples.

One thing however they would realize is that Christ became not the shepherd of sheep like they were, but that He became their Good Shepherd and the shepherds were His flock. We became His flock!

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:10, NIV)

Jesus also said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me– just as the Father knows me and I know the Father–and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:14-16)

It is exciting to know that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and we are His flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds to tell them the glorious good news of a Good Shepherd that was born in Bethlehem. I believe it was also to help the shepherds see how a Good Shepherd would one day lead His flock including themselves. Whatever they were going through, they were given the Good News of a baby born in Bethlehem.

To be continued in the 'I AM' series at "Who is your S.H.E.P.H.E.R.D?" (June 30, 06)

“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:14, NIV)

I asked myself after the shepherds received the message, what four things happened?

  1. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel .

  2. A great company of the heavenly host, with the angel praising God

  3. A great company of the heavenly host, with the angel, said, “Glory to God in the highest”

  4. A great company of the heavenly host with the angel  said, “On earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

I asked myself the significance of the multiple angels?

The great company of the heavenly host could have appeared earlier but they appeared after the shepherds’ fears were diminished. Rather than sending multiple angels, only the angel of the Lord appeared to them. Now the shepherds who were lonely and watching their flock by night were visited by not only the angel of the Lord but they got to witness a great company of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

IMPLICATIONS:

I asked myself what are the implications for my own life here?

I learned that the shepherds were faithfully doing their job of watching over their flock by night. They were there without leaving their sheep. It was their livelihood to watch over their sheep. It could have been boring but they still were doing it.

Amidst their job, the angel of the Lord appeared to them to give them “good news of great joy”. The joy they were going to experience is seeing the Savior, Christ the Lord who would one day become their Good Shepherd and lead them.  Not only would He become their Good Shepherd but He would be their Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Wonderful Counselor, and Prince of Peace! Remember Jesus said, 'I AM'.

God used 'I AM that I AM' when addressing Moses who happened to be a shepherd too who was called later to lead the Israelites out of Egypt as his new flock.

Whatever job we are doing or wherever we are, let us faithfully do our part without giving up! Christ the Lord can be our Good Shepherd too to lead us

I ask you now dear friend how do you relate to the shepherds this C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S season?

Dear friend, no matter what your occupation is, where you have been, what you have done, what you are doing, you can come to the Good Shepherd as you are and allow Him to work in your life, bind up your wounds, and lead you.

As the shepherds were introduced to a Savior by the angels so can you just as you are! If you are all muddy and yucky with things that have happened, allow Jesus to clean you. He will clean you so well and cover you with His precious cleansing blood. You are never out of His love and never out of His reach. He will hold you in His arms of love as a Good Shepherd holds a sheep. He will be your Mighty God and Everlasting Father! He will be your Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace!

The angels came to the shepherds for a reason. It is to introduce them to the One who came to be their Good Shepherd one day. Jesus wants to be your Good Shepherd too! Yes, He does friend! Yes, He does! Come and give your life to the Good Shepherd this Christmas season!

When my precious sweetie wife was working in Saudi Arabia, she would find opportunities to share the love of Christ with her Muslim patients. She did that because she knows what the Good Shepherd could do in their lives. What Jesus could do in their lives, He can do in your life too cleaning you, washing you, and carrying you as you are. Thank you Jesus. So come as you are this Christmas season.

The Good Shepherd is only a call away. Jesus wants to be your Good Shepherd and lead you. Jesus sees you as His tender flock. He wants to lead you through green pastures and give you everything you need. Yes, He does! He wants to guide you in the best pathway for your life and watch your progress. No matter where you have been, Jesus looks for you and wants to bring you back to His fold.

Yes, don't hold back and think some other time. Come as you are now and ask Jesus Christ to cleanse you with His precious blood to wash away all your sin. He can do that friend and free you from bondage and guilt. He will give you a new beginning and season. Yes He will friend so come as you are. Help Lord Jesus!

Friend, now is the time of Salvation if you do not know Jesus as your Good Shepherd! If you have known Him at one point but went astray, you can come back!  Yes, you can my friend!

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and we become His sheep that He wants to take care of when we allow Him to. When a sheep gets lost, the shepherd goes out to look for the sheep. Many of us can be lost in our own problems and our own sins. Because of those things we can go astray in life even entering dangerous situations but there is hope when that happens.

Yes, there is friend and it is in Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd. Jesus shared a story in Luke 15 about 100 sheep and even if one is lost, the  shepherd goes after that one and when that one is found there is great joy and rejoicing in heaven. Jesus wants to be your Good Shepherd this Christmas season. Yes, He does friend! So when you come to Him there will be rejoicing in Heaven.

No matter where you have been or what you have done or what others have done to you, Jesus loves you so much that if you were the only one living He would have still been born to die for you and redeem you! Yes, friend Jesus wants to be your Good Shepherd and came to seek and find that which was lost.

Friend, are you that lost sheep? Have you gone your own way? Have you lost the meaning of Christmas and why it is special? Have you entered dangerous situations?

Jesus is the Answer and He is there for you! When a wolf attacks a sheep, the sheep is wounded but when the shepherd sees that happening, if he is the Good Shepherd, he does not stay away but comes to rescue the sheep and bind its wounds.

In life, we are attacked by a wolf that comes like a roaring lion waiting for someone to devour and wound. Satan is his name and attacking humanity is his game. Many have been attacked by Satan and have been wounded but the Good News is there is a Good Shepherd. Jesus is His name and He is there to bind up our wounds and lead us in the right path. He wants to do that for you! Oh yes He does! The wounds can be the sins in our lives that only the Lord's cleansing precious blood can be the antidote for. When you come to Him, confess your sins repenting of them, and ask Jesus to be your God and Savior, He will because He died for your sin and came back to life to save you. Yes, friend Jesus is alive. We celebrate Christmas because Jesus was born as God-incarnate into this world to redeem humanity. Redeem you and me! Praise the Lord!

Psalm 147: 3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Psalm 23 says, The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;  your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

May you know Christ happily redeems intentionally souls today mightily as Savior!  He came to redeem you too! May this poem tell you the story of Christmas and keep Christ in your heart as you pray the prayer below too!

Many, years ago, prophesy told the coming of  no  ordinary child.

Entering Bethlehem, Mary & Joseph settled in a place that was wild.

Resting there, Mary gave birth to her firstborn Son.

Realizing from the Angels, a Savior was born, the Shepherds did run.

Yes, they hurried off and saw the baby lying in a manger away from danger.


Concerning what had been told about the Child, they spread the Word.

Hearing, all were amazed what shepherds said and none were bored.

Raising their voices, appeared with Angel company of Heavenly Host.

Indeed praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest (Most).

So overjoyed, Magi came from the East, seeing a beautiful star.

They found house, bowed down, worshipped Christ, after coming so far.

Magi, then presented Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense, and Myrrh.

And Mary, treasured up all that happened & pondered them in her heart.

Since Herod was evil, Magi took another route in their camel's cart.

"Christ Happily Redeems Intentionally Souls Today Mightily As Savior!"/"How do you relate to the shepherds this C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S season?"

Won’t you come to Him friend or help someone who is wounded do that by coming to the Good Shepherd or leading them to the Good Shepherd?

If you want to turn to the Good Shepherd, make this your prayer.

Prayer:
Jesus, you say,  'I AM the Good Shepherd!' God alone used 'I AM' when speaking with Moses. You use it now to make it known that you are Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Wonderful Counselor, and Prince of Peace. Thank you for being born and all that you are to me.  I want to thank you most of all for being the Good Shepherd. I need a Good Shepherd in my life to lead me and guide me. My sin has made me dirty on the inside and attacks of Satan have wounded me. I have gone astray and have done my own thing. Yet, you care for me and laid down your life for me on the cross to give me new life as you shed your blood for me to wash away all my sins. Your Blood became the transfusion for those wounded by Satan. Your blood heals all the wounded areas to give us a new life. I want that new life so I turn to you now as a sheep that has gone astray and ask for your forgiveness of all my sins, to come and save me Jesus. Deliver me Oh Good Shepherd! I know you can save me when I turn to you and ask you to be my Good Shepherd. I know you died for me and came back to life to save. Now I can hear your voice in my heart as I stay with you. I want you to stay with me Jesus in my heart and make my heart your home so I can always have you as my Good Shepherd with me knowing you are my God and my Savior. This way even when I am going the wrong way or fall in a ditch, you can pick me and set me in green pastures. I love you Jesus! Thank you for being with me. Thank you for loving us so much that you were born in a stable in Bethlehem so one day you could become our Good Shepherd. I acknowledge you as my Lord and Personal Savior. I thank you for being the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for me the sheep and for coming back to life on the third day to save. Thank you for being the Lamb of God. I acknowledge you as my Lord and Personal Savior. Thank you for being my Lord and Personal Savior and changing me. Thank you Jesus you have heard my prayer and answered me. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Lord Jesus, You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)
