What would a birthday party be without guests? God invited some very unusual guests to Jesus’ birthday: a group of shepherds. Those shepherds were stinky and smelly, and busy working, but when they got the invitation to see Jesus, they dropped everything to come and see Him.
“Today in the town of David” [Cup your hands around your mouth like a megaphone]
“a Savior has been born” [Overlap your arms in front of you, as if rocking a baby]
“to you.” [Point your arms out in front of you.]
Luke 2:8-20, The Shepherds
The Beginner's Bible Pages - 277 - 281
Who told the shepherds that Jesus had been born?
What did the shepherds do after the angels left them?
Who can you invite to join us for Jesus’ Birthday Party?
Dear God,
"Thank you for giving us Jesus; help us tell other people about Jesus."
Amen
