The Christmas story is very familiar - so much so that the nativity scenes on display at Christmas bring the whole story to mind. Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus in the stable - the shepherds in the fields watching over their flocks - the angels appearing with their message.
In the account in Luke chapter two all of the narrative details are given their meaning by the message that the angel delivered to the shepherds. There is a very specific reason that this scene should be the cause of great joy. Don't miss the message in the middle of the scenery.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior who is Christ the Lord!"
