8Shepherds  were  in  the  fields  near  Bethlehem.  They  were  taking  turns    watching  their  flock  during  the  night.

11Today  your  Savior,  Christ  the  Lord,    was  born  in  David’s  city.    12This  is  how  you  will  recognize  him:    You  will  find  an  infant    wrapped  in  strips  of  cloth    and  lying  in  a  manger.”

13Suddenly,  a  large  army  of  angels    appeared  with  the  angel.    They  were  praising  God  by  saying,  14  “Glory  to  God  in  the  highest  heaven,  and  on  earth  peace  to  those  who  have  his  good  will!”        

Luke  2:8-­‐16  GWV

15The  angels  le[  them  and  went  back  to  heaven.  The  shepherds  said  to  each  other,  “Let’s  go  to  Bethlehem  and  see  what  the  Lord  has  told  us  about.”

17When  they  saw  the  child,  they  repeated  what  they  had  

been  told  about  him.    18Everyone  who  heard  

the  shepherds’  story  was  amazed.  19Mary  treasured  all  these  things  

in  her  heart  and  always  thought  about  them.

What  if  your  ability  to  receive  help  and  advice  from  other  people    

reveals  your  ability  to  receive    help  and  advice  from  God?

“Love  God  …”    

and    

“Love  your  neighbor…”

Loving  God  is  a    two-­‐way  relaeonship:  

   We  love  God  with  all  we’ve  got;    God  loves  us  with  way  more!  

Page 26: Ques%on( · On#ascale#from#1#to#10,## 10#being#“MostLikely”## and#1#being#“NotLikely#AtAll,”# how#likely#are#you#to## turn#the#help#or#advice#down## saying,#“I’ve# ...

In  fact,  “we  love  because  God  loved  us  first.”  

1  John  4:19  GWV  

   In  fact,  being  loved  is    the  premiere  part    

of  this  love  relaeonship.

Loving  our  neighbor  is  the  same,  in  that,  it,  too,  is  a  two-­‐way  relaeonship:    

We  give  love  to  our  neighbor,                  and  We  receive  love  from  our  neighbor.

“Real  relaeonships    require  give  and  take    

–  nobody  with  all  the  power    and  nobody  with  all  the  need.  It  steals  a  person’s  dignity    

to  always  be  in  a  posieon  of  need,    without  ever  having  the  opportunity    

to  be  the  giving  one.”

“When  giving  is  two-­‐sided,    everyone  feels  a  sense  of  worth.    We  need  to  understand  that    

everyone  on  our  block    has  something  to  bring    to  the  relaeonship.  

…  a  feeling  of  “we  can  do  this  together”    is  created,  and  that  is  healthy.”

4So  Jesus  got  up  from  the  table,    took  a  towel,  and  …

8Peter  told  Jesus,    “You  will  never  wash  my  feet.”  

Jesus  replied  to  Peter,    “If  I  don’t  wash  you,    

you  don’t  belong  to  me.”

12Jesus  …  took  his  place    at  the  table  again.  

14“…  you  must  wash    each  other’s  feet.

1In  the  beginning    the  Word  already  existed.    The  Word  was  with  God,    and  the  Word  was  God.
