Here are the STAGES on the journe from sinner to servant.
I. Consistency. V.8
I. Consistency. V.8
Some of the greatest types of Christ in the Bible were shepherds. Abel was a shepherd; Jacob and his sons were shepherds; Moses was a shepherd; David was a shepherd. Christ is a shepherd who “watches over His flock by night” (1 Pet. 5:4 cf. 2 Pet. 1:19).
II. Conviction. Vs.9–14
II. Conviction. Vs.9–14
The reassurance by the angel of the Lord. Vs.9–10
“the angel of the Lord.”
The Lord has no problem in being in two or more places at once (He’s omnipresent, remember?) and appearing in more than one form. In Revelation 4–5, He takes the form of lamps (Rev. 4:5), a lion (Rev. 5:5), a lamb (Rev. 5:6), eyes (Rev. 5:6), and a man (Rev. 5:7).
“And the glory of the Lord shone around about them.”
This is what Moses and the children of Israel saw on Mt. Sinai (Exod. 24:16–17) and in the Tabernacle (Lev. 9:23); it is what the priests saw in the Temple (1 Kings 8:11; 2 Chron. 5:14). It’s what appears at the Second Advent as a bright, shining light (Isa. 58:8, 60:1).
The revelation by the angel of the Lord. Vs.11–12
In regard to God’s Son. V11
The name Jesus means “Jehovah Saves.” He’s the Saviour first, then Christ the King. Hebrews 7:2 says, “King of righteousness, and AFTER THAT...King of peace.”
In regard to God’s sign. V.12
The rejoicing by the angels of the Lord. Vs.13–14
III. Church. Vs.15–16
III. Church. Vs.15–16
At this point, the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches do have a certain amount of truth on the subject. They separate the birth of Christ at “Christmas” (Dec. 25) from the visit of the wise men at “Epiphany” on January 6, which is from where the idea of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” comes (although what partridges, French hens, gold rings, and leaping “lords” have to do with it, no one knows).
IV. Commission. Vs.17–20
IV. Commission. Vs.17–20
The confirming. Vs.17–18, 20
When they leave, they tell everyone what has happened.
The contemplating. V.19
Mary treasures these things in her heart and thinks about them.
