God's Favor...Seeking a Place to Rest
I. The Birth of Jesus (1-7) *Born in Humble Circumstances. *Announced to Shepherds....(v8) *The presence of Angelic beings (9-15) II. The Good News of Great Joy (v9) *Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: He is Christ the Lord! (11) *Because of this Child and His sacrifice on the cross, peace and favor is available to rest on men and women. III. The shepherds spread the Good news concerning what they had been told about this child. (v17-20) *The shepherds return to their field glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told!
God Could, God Would, God Did!
We often believe God is a limited God but He works beyond what we can imagine in ways that we will find unlikely. God's choices in whom He announces the news of Jesus' birth helps us to see the unusual ways and means by which God worked people's lives and in ours.

The answer is extraordinary!

He Came For Sinners
In the context of v. 5 (3:4-9), John is showing how a Christian—by living with an outward-oriented, objective focus on the God-man—is motivated to renounce sin (vv. 6, 9) and practice righteousness (v. 7) rather than indulge in a life of unrestrained license (v. 7; see Smalley, WBC, pp. 151ff.). In v. 5, John gives two fundamental truths about the gospel, which demonstrate Jesus’ opposition to sin. These two truths serve as the proper motivation to drive us to renounce sin and practice righteousness.
