Which is Christ the Lord.

Notice the Angel of the Lord says unto you. The shepherds, humans, today a Saviour is born unto.

Our Saviour, our Redemption. How do we not celebrate that?

David flees Jerusalem, Absalom moves in and immediately does the one thing that will never allow a reconciliation.

Absalom and Ahithophel start a coup, Absalom has been planning it for forty years. Yet David is not totally lost yet he has friends in the right places.

Angels announced it, Shepherds carried it throughout the land. A Savior is born.

Ok Great, so what.

Savior? Saved from? poverty? Disease?Traffic jam?

The birth of a Savior led to a life freely given on an old rugged croos. That led to a Resurrection that gave life to all of us.

Saved from? Death and Hell. The penalty of sin.

The wages of sin is death, but the Gift if God is eternal life.

Absalom is in exile for killing his brother Joab sees his king missing his son and sets a plan in motion to bring him back.

As a result of his actions with Bathsheba and Uriah, David was told the sword would never depart from his family.

Tonight we find out the start of what that entails.

David had just lusted and sinned with Bathsheba, David had her husband killed, and then David took her for his own.

God is not happy!

What is our job here? To tell them of Jesus. Not to be rich, not to be wealthy and comfortable. If you are, great, use what He has given you to be a better Witness.

How will they know unless we tell them?
