Bible Study: Shepherds

This is the message the shepherds heard about Jesus birth:
(taken from the Message translation Luke 2

8There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep.
9Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified.

10The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide:
11A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master.
12This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger.”

13At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises:

14Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.

15As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over.
“Let’s get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.”
