In this message we are taking a closer look at the shepherds and their visitor, an angel of the Lord. The angel of the Lord says, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” The verb translated as bring good news is where we get the term evangelize! God is the very first evangelist – He is telling the shepherds the news of salvation! The gospel, the message of the historical event that makes salvation possible, begins right here, in the Christmas story.
