In Luke 2, the Shepherds are the first to hear the news of the birth of Jesus: “ 11  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” But the birth of this child was announced many years before, notably by Isaiah in these verses. This Child is none other than the Mighty God who comes to bring light in the darkness, to set his people free and rule over them in peace and justice. Have we received the light that Jesus brings and been set free to live with him as our king?
