Now to our episode. Well

2:26

as nurse. We

2:28

continuing our added in journey. Preparing

2:31

our hearts to celebrate Jesus as

2:33

birth. We're

2:40

getting closer and closer

2:42

to Christmas. Today

2:44

we step into the fourth

2:47

and final week and a

2:49

theme is love. Love.

2:54

Is a special feeling. Like

2:57

a warm hug from mom or

2:59

a friend helping you when you

3:01

get hurt. Do

3:05

you love anyone? My

3:10

mom, my dad, and. Censored. Love

3:14

is a wonderful thing. We

3:17

feel love, but it's also

3:19

more than a feeling. It's

3:23

an action. Not

3:25

patient. It is kind. We

3:29

so love and actions and words.

3:32

This week we'll. Explore the love

3:34

that Jesus brought. Into the world. And

3:37

how we get to be a part

3:39

of that Love. A

3:46

last week. We. Left off with

3:48

Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. The

3:51

time came. For Mary to give

3:53

birth. But it

3:55

was so crowded that jesus.

3:58

Was born in a manger. Not

4:01

a fancy hotel for an

4:04

enormous castle. The

4:06

King of Kings was born.

4:09

In a humble manger. We

4:14

pick up our story here. Imagine

4:24

it's a quiet night in

4:26

Bethlehem. Everything

4:29

seems normal, but something

4:31

amazing was about to

4:34

happen. The

4:36

town was about to receive the

4:38

most incredible news. And

4:41

the news will come from

4:44

some unexpected. Visitors. In

4:50

a field not too far

4:52

from Bethlehem. A group

4:54

of shepherds were attending their sheep. The

4:58

fluffy sheep peacefully those under

5:00

the shimmering. Stars. The

5:04

bible says. And

5:09

there were shepherds living out in the

5:11

field nearby. Keeping. Watch

5:13

over their flocks at night. And.

5:17

Angel of the Lord appears to them.

5:20

And the glory of the Lord shown around

5:22

them. And they

5:24

were terrified. Listeners.

5:29

I wonder what it felt like to

5:31

be them? Boys,

5:37

a peaceful night Isn't it

5:39

the sheep? They seem so

5:42

committed. Yes

5:45

indeed please! Quiet nights under

5:47

the stars were the best

5:49

part of our job. with

5:56

a star of their it

5:58

seems brighter unusual. You're

6:03

right. It's like

6:05

it's trying to tell us

6:07

something. Well

6:10

I don't speak star language so I'll

6:13

just enjoy the view. Suddenly

6:17

an angel appeared to

6:20

the shepherds bathed in a

6:22

heavenly light. The

6:25

angel said to them, do

6:28

not be afraid. I bring

6:31

you good news that will call a

6:33

great choice for all

6:35

the people. Today in

6:37

the town of David, a

6:40

Savior has been born to you.

6:42

He is the Messiah.

6:44

So Lord this will be

6:46

assigned to you. You'll

6:49

find a baby wrapped in

6:51

clothes and lying in a manger.

6:56

Then a great company

6:58

of heavenly hosts appeared with

7:01

the angel praising

7:03

God and saying, glory

7:06

to God in the highest heaven

7:09

and on earth peace to

7:11

those on whom his favor rests.

7:19

When the angels had left them and gone

7:21

into heaven, the shepherd said

7:23

to one another, let's

7:27

go to Bethlehem and see this

7:29

thing that has happened which the

7:32

Lord has told us about. The

7:37

shepherds were filled with awe

7:39

and wonder. They knew

7:41

they had to see this special

7:44

baby for themselves. So

7:47

they hurried to Bethlehem following

7:50

a path that led them to

7:52

a humble sable. Listeners,

7:58

Can you picture it? Shepherds

8:02

dressed in simple robes.

8:05

Stains. Of dirt and grass on their

8:07

garments from their hard work in the fields.

8:11

During this time. Often.

8:14

People. Didn't trust Shepherds. And.

8:17

They treated them as lower

8:19

class or less than them.

8:22

These men were the first

8:25

to arrive at a stable.

8:29

And he feigned Mary. Joseph.

8:31

And Baby Jesus. Just as

8:34

the Angel had said, The

8:39

shepherds felt a warms in their.

8:41

Hearts. On

8:43

Love couldn't describe. And

8:46

they couldn't contain their excitement. They

8:50

shared the good. News with every

8:52

one they met spreading. Love

8:54

and the news of Jesus

8:57

his birth like wildfire. Been.

9:00

All have it Were amazed.

9:03

At what the shepherd said to them. As

9:09

just happened. I mean did

9:11

we really just see and

9:13

angels and find a baby?

9:17

Yes, we did. And that

9:19

baby she was Just as

9:21

he also said, a wrapped

9:23

in swaddling clothes lying in

9:25

a manger. Yeah,

9:29

I've I've never felt such

9:31

was office when I saw.

9:36

The whole world changed in that

9:38

moment. Of

9:41

I agreed We have to

9:43

tell everybody about this. Well

9:57

that is it far. As doi today.

10:00

Before. We go. Let's think about

10:02

what we'd sauce heard. Say

10:06

out loud food the angel appear

10:08

to out in the fields. Separates

10:13

yes and want to. The

10:15

shepherds do after they saw

10:18

Jesus. To

10:22

every one. That's right,

10:24

he felt such i love and

10:26

hope when they saw their savior

10:28

born and he couldn't help but

10:31

sure about love with others by

10:33

telling them that good. News.

10:37

I am so thankful he joined us as

10:40

we celebrate. Avent because it

10:42

is easy to st

10:44

Christmas is. Only

10:46

about getting presents.

10:50

The shops and ads on

10:52

so work really hard to

10:54

convince us that we just

10:56

have to buy it. That

10:59

tons of presence will solve

11:01

everything and make us happy

11:04

forever. But

11:06

we know that's not true.

11:10

Toys break. Ah man, we don't

11:12

seem so shiny after a while.

11:16

But. The real gift. The

11:19

best gift that does

11:21

bring true never ending

11:23

love, Hope Enjoy his

11:25

the gift of our

11:27

savior. Shout

11:29

out his name, He

11:33

11:35

right, Jesus who was born

11:37

that night. Now

11:41

does she want us to

11:43

enjoy things he's made like

11:45

toys and guess. Yeah.

11:49

Absolutely. He's a loving father

11:51

who delights and seen you

11:53

smile, but we just need

11:55

to make sure we remember

11:57

the truth of what really

11:59

matters. what Christmas is

12:02

all about. Just

12:04

like the shepherds in today's story,

12:06

we've received the good news

12:08

of Jesus's birth. And

12:12

it's a message of hope that

12:14

like what the darkness made, is

12:18

peace that stills our troubled

12:20

hearts, of

12:22

joy that overflows, and

12:26

of love that is perfect

12:29

and never-ending. As

12:33

we say goodbye to this Advent special,

12:36

let's not forget the wonderful things we've

12:38

learned. Carry these

12:41

lessons with you throughout the coming year,

12:44

and let the light of Jesus

12:46

shine through your actions, your words,

12:49

and always remember that

12:52

in Jesus we find

12:54

our ultimate hope. He

12:57

is the reason we celebrate, the

12:59

reason we believe, and

13:01

the reason we have a hope that

13:03

never fades. Thank
