Title: Shepherds-Practiced Great Faith (2)
Series: Do You Hear What I Hear?
Author: Jordan Easley
Text: Luke 2:8-14
Prophets-Prepared us for Christmas.
Angels-Pointed us to The Savior.
(Today) Shepherds-Practiced great faith.
[Luke 2:8-14] 8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: 11 Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger."
13 Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors!
On Christmas Eve of the year 1906... the very first words were broadcasted over public radio. Up to that point in history, radios could only transmit morse code. It's hard to imagine, but radios were primarily used by ships (in that day) to communicate with one another. They would hear the tap-tap of morse code on the speakers of their radio... and it was how they talked to each other while traveling across the ocean.
But on that day-Christmas Eve, 1906... the inventor of the AM Radio increased the power and capabilities to where he believed he could transmit a human voice over the airwaves. And he did.
In the silence of the night, on AM Radio, he opened his Bible to the same chapter we just read (Luke chapter 2) and he read the Christmas story. These were the very first words spoken on the radio.
Can you imagine if you were a ship captain, somewhere out in the Atlantic... and all you'd ever heard up to that point was the occasional tap-tap-tap of morse code come over your speakers? ...
