Luke 2:1-20 - O Come, Let Us Adore Him

Luke 2:1-20  /  Advent, Week 4: PEACE

Beside correcting several misconceptions concerning Jesus's birth, we pay particular attention to the SHEPHERDS in Luke's narrative.  Of the shepherds, John Calvin wrote: "Their zeal in glorifying and praising God is an implied reproof of our indolence, or rather of our ingratitude.  If the cradle of Christ had such an effect upon them, as to make them rise from the stable and the manger to heaven, how much more powerful ought the death and resurrection of Christ to be  in raising us to God?"
