*Christmas Surprise*
*Text: Luke 2:8-14 (NIV)*
*8*And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
*9*An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
*10*But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
*11*Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
*12*This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
*13*Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
*14*“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
