Why Shepherds?

Have you ever read in Luke where the Angels came to announce the birth of Christ?  They came and announced the birth of Christ, not to the whole world, but to a group of shepherds!  Why would God make the choice of spreading the amazing and wonderful news of a relationship with Him through such a rag/tag handful of those that would seem to be totally unqualified to share such momentous news!

But God did make the choice of sharing this news – first with the shepherds and then through the shepherds with the rest of the world!  And God still today shares the news of a life changing relationship with Him through individuals – many of us who seem to not be one bit qualified in sharing the news with others!

God sees value, worth and potential where others can’t even find a hint!  God knows your value, because He created you and knows the plan that He has for your life!  God knows your worth and that is why He was willing to give of Himself, so that you and I can have relationship with Him!  God knows your potential and wants to use you and your life today to make a difference in ETERNITY!

So take some time to read about the shepherds in Luke and think about how God is wanting and willing to use you and YOUR STORY to make a difference in other people’s lives!  And make sure that you are at Northwood Sunday – you will not want to miss our special guest!
