Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Angels And Shepherds

BIG NEWS

Social media, video sharing sites, text messaging... However you want to get the news out there, it’s easy! It’s instant too.

God’s method of communicating the good news of his Son’s birth was instant. And it was different! For a start, it was incredibly spectacular. It was also memorably noisy and very frightening. How do we know that? Because the angel told the shepherds not to be afraid.

There was so much to take in – the stuff that the angel told them, the glory of the Lord in front of their eyes and then a huge choir of angels who filled the sky and praised God. It must have been hard to get their heads around it all.

But, to their credit, the shepherds responded straight away and went to find the baby Jesus. Their obedience was rewarded when they found him lying on a bed of hay, just as the angel had said.

TALKABOUT

The God who made the world has come to earth – as a baby who still needs to grow up. Why did he come as a baby rather than a king or a superhero?

TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER

Choose a phrase related to today’s Bible reading, such as ‘Jesus, Son of God, born for us.’ Try the ancient method of ‘breath prayers’ quietly together. Close your eyes and be calm, as you start to feel the rhythm of your breathing. Repeat the phrase silently, over and over, for about a minute (or longer, if you’re all at ease with the stillness).

PLAYING GUARDIANS OF ANCORA

Switch on your game device, go to the Spire and select the Bible Quest ‘Angels and Shepherds’ (tap the ‘game-controller’ icon). If you have several devices, play the game at the same time. Or watch each other play, in turn.

Have you completed the first chapter of ‘Angels and Shepherds’? See how you get on with Chapter 2 today.

Something strange is taking place in the hills above Bethlehem. The climb up the hill is tricky, but when you finally reach the top, you see what Fabula said you would – an angel!

The angel is talking to some shepherds, saying that Jesus is born, a Saviour for the world. Suddenly the sky is filled with angels, all singing, and for a time it seems like the whole universe is singing!
