December 15, 2014

Luke 2:10-11  (God's Word Translation)  The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid!  I have good news for you, a message that will fill everyone with joy.  Today your Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in David's city".

Can you imagine getting that message from a host of angels?   First, I think it would be terrifying to be in the field, minding my own business, and having the sky fill with angels.  And if that is not scary enough, then they begin to talk and praise God.   Don't be afraid.......yeh right!   But the grace of God covered the shepherds and they believed.    Then, they had to have been filled with anticipation and excitement.   How they must have laughed and cheered, and I am sure they rushed to tell others.    I so wish that we would respond today to the good news of Jesus Christ they way the shepherds did so long ago.    Wouldn't it be something if we were so full of joy that we had to run around and tell everyone we met?   We have a few days left in December before Christmas arrives, how about we find ways to share Jesus with all we encounter?
