Encountering Jesus
Imagine the wonder of the shepherds when an angel of the Lord spoke to them, followed by multitudes of the heavenly host filling the night sky with otherworldly light and music. And imagine their excitement as they left their fields and sheep to find all that the angel had told them about.
Yet the most life-changing experience they had that night was meeting the Messiah face-to-face. It moved their hearts to worship. The angels told the humble sheepherders who this infant in a dingy stable was, and their expectant hearts allowed them to recognize Him and give Him the honor and adoration He deserved as King.
Likewise, when you encounter Jesus and see Him for who He is, the realization of His love and glory will fill your heart with thanksgiving and make you want to know Him better.
Activity: Make a playlist of your favorite Christmas hymns or worship songs. As you spend time listening, reflect on God’s overwhelming love for you.

About this Plan
On a quiet night 2,000 years ago, angels brought news of the Savior’s birth to shepherds tending their flocks—and after hearing the news, those same shepherds left everything to seek a baby in Bethlehem. All these years later, the invitation has not changed. Join Dr. Charles Stanley as he helps you draw near to the Savior, encouraging you to make time to rest in the Father’s love this season.
