The Message to the Shepherds
Luke 2:10
And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.


I. HOW SURE IS GOD'S WORD. Ages had rolled by since the promise was first made. Saints had waited; types had prefigured; prophets had foretold: at last, when all preparation is complete, the Divine decree is accomplished.

II. HOW WONDERFUL ARE GOD'S WAYS.

III. HOW GLORIOUS IS GOD'S SALVATION. God, and yet man; a babe, and yet Lord of all. How great the Father's love; how wonderful the Son's condescension!

(W. S. Bruce, M. A.)
