10 POINT EXPOSITORY STUDY GUIDE Luke 2:8–16** 1. TEXT SELECTION What the passage is about: Luke 2:8–16 records the announcement of Jesus’ 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 God’s revelation of the Messiah to humble, ordinary people. It introduces themes of divine glory, peace, and the unexpected nature of God’s 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 2:1–7 describes the census under Caesar Augustus, Joseph and Mary’s journey to Bethlehem, and Jesus’ birth in humble circumstances. After the passage: Luke 2:17–20 narrates the shepherds’ testimony and Mary’s reflection, emphasizing witness and response. Fit within the book: It is part of Luke’s infancy narrative (chapters 1–2), which stresses God’s initiative, joy, and salvation for all people. 3. TEXT OBSERVATION Key Words: • “Fear not” • “Good news” (gospel) • “Great joy” • “Savior … Christ the Lord” • “Glory to God” • “Peace” Repeated ideas: • Divine revelation • Joy • Glory • Humility Commands: • “Fear not.” Promises: • “Good news of great joy … for all the people.” • The arrival of a Savior. Contrasts: • Heavenly glory vs. humble shepherds. • The Lord of glory lying in a manger.

Let me in!!
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
