The Shepherds of Bethlehem Season's Greeting Card




Features artwork inspired by photos of shepherds in Israel.

Front: Good tidings of great joy
Inside:
The faithful godly prophets of old
The Son of God had always foretold.
They knew He would be the world’s great light
To shine in sin’s darkest deepest night.
Yet when He came folks couldn’t believe
He was a babe, not King to receive!
Peacefully the Saviour had arrived -
Such humble birth could not be contrived!
Herod sought this Babe to end His life
And that was only the start of strife -
They mocked Him and tried to trick Him up,
But that wasn’t yet the most bitter cup.
One day His own betrayed Him by night;
They stripped Him and His back did they smite.
Perfect Lamb of God - He gave His all -
They gave Him a crown of thorns, and gall
He cried out as God forsook Him there
While He bore our sins with tender care.
His life He gave, in a tomb He lay;
Three days and nights - He did not decay.
Then - what delight! - from the grave He rose -
The tomb was empty, save for His clothes!
This King was seen by those He selected;
To heaven He went - His work perfected!
This Man is Jesus, God’s only Son;
Peace with God for mankind He has won.
This season is a time to reflect -
Will you this gift of God’s love accept?
