Spreading The Good News

The shepherds knew what to look for: a newborn Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. They found Him and worshipped Him, marveling at God's grace and goodness and the miracle He had wrought for them.

Luke 2:16,17 And they came with haste and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning the child.

These shepherds are good examples for us today. They received by faith the message God sent them and then responded with immediate obedience.

After finding the Baby, they reported the good news to others, glorifying and praising God. Then they humbly returned to their duties, new men going back to the same old job.

Telling others about the Saviour is a solemn obligation as well as a great privilege, and we who are believers must be faithful.
