10 POINT EXPOSITORY STUDY GUIDE Luke 2:8â16** 1. TEXT SELECTION What the passage is about: Luke 2:8â16 records the announcement of Jesusâ birth to shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem. An angel appears, declares the birth of the Savior, and the shepherds go to see the newborn Christ. Why it is important: This passage highlights Godâs revelation of the Messiah to humble, ordinary people. It introduces themes of divine glory, peace, and the unexpected nature of Godâs redemptive plan. 2. CONTEXT STUDY A. Historical Context Who wrote it? Traditionally attributed to Luke, a physician and companion of Paul. Audience: Likely a mixed Gentile audience, especially Theophilus (Luke 1:3) who represents educated seekers of truth. What was happening during that time? Israel lived under Roman rule. There was widespread expectation of a Messiah. Shepherds were part of the lower social class, often viewed as unclean or marginal. B. Literary Context Before the passage: Luke 2:1â7 describes the census under Caesar Augustus, Joseph and Maryâs journey to Bethlehem, and Jesusâ birth in humble circumstances. After the passage: Luke 2:17â20 narrates the shepherdsâ testimony and Maryâs reflection, emphasizing witness and response. Fit within the book: It is part of Lukeâs infancy narrative (chapters 1â2), which stresses Godâs initiative, joy, and salvation for all people. 3.

Wow!! What a Power Call tonight!
We are so incredibly grateful to God for the wonderful experience we had during our inaugural meet-and-greet call! The atmosphere was electric, filled with engaging discussions and genuine connection as we all got to know one another better. It was truly a highlight to connect with such a dedicated group of individuals. And then, as if orchestrated by divine timing, came what we can only describe as a powerful "Prophetic Hit"! During this call, we collectively felt a profound sense of guidance and direction from God. He spoke to each of us individually, offering clarity and purpose for the exciting season ahead. This has been a truly transformative experience for all of us. Apostle @Avery Kinney Than you for your submission and your willingness to be used! Thank you all so very much for your contributions, your openness, and your willingness to share your insights. Your presence and participation made this meet-and-greet call an unforgettable and incredibly blessed event! @John Barber @Jennifer Webb Farris @Avery Kinney @Theodore Lanham
