I have participated in the Luke study put on by Good Morning Girls. I decided to go ahead a use some of the lessons here.
Read Luke 2:8-20, SOAP 2:20
An angel comes to shepherds (ceremonial unclean men for
their work with animals and outcast of society). Shepherds, who fight wild
animals like lions and bears to protect their flock, were struck with FEAR.
Peace is on all men who do God's will, on whom His favor rests. A knighthood of
angels join praising God, other trans. say troop. Warrior angels coming to sing
praises over the Christ. Warriors who fight in God's army. Shepherds leave the
flock they risk their life to protect and go search for the Messiah. Shepherds
go out and tell everything that happened to those who listen (and were
astonished and marveled) - giving their personal testimony of their encounter
with the Messiah. Mary stores these things in her heart and ponders them. After
their personal encounter with Jesus, the shepherds return to their life with
praises to God for revealing what He did to them, the lowest of men based on
man's standard, the highest in God's standard.
What do I store in my heart and ponder?
