Celebrating Christmas And The Birth Of Jesus Bible Verse Of The Day:"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." Luke 2:10–14 (NIV) Thoughts On Today's Scripture:The night Jesus was born, God didn’t send the angel choir to a palace. He sent them to a field. To shepherds. Ordinary workers just doing their job. “Do not be afraid,” the angel said. “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” Then the sky exploded with praise as a whole army of angels announced peace and favor through this tiny baby in a manger. If you’ve ever felt too ordinary, too messy, or too far from “religious,” the shepherds’ story is proof: the good news really is for you.
