Sol Wise eCourses Welcomes You Today:

Luke 2 :
15. When this great army of angels had returned again to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Come on! Let's go to Bethlehem!
Let's see this wonderful thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
16. They ran to the village and found their way to Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger.
17. The shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child.

It must have taken a while for the shock of this angelic visitation to sink in.
But when it did, they got up immediately and went in search of this Baby whom they found with Mary and Joseph. The Baby was actually in the manger!

They then took on the responsibility of telling everyone within the vicinity of Bethlehem that Messiah was here.

Everyone would have understood the significance of their words, because they had all been taught that the scriptures said that Messiah would be born in Bethlehem!

God was making sure people knew that He had sent Messiah.

Many people down through the years have been faithful, like those shepherds, to tell God's good news of the Saviour coming into the world.

Will you take up the challenge the shepherds did of letting those around you know about how knowing Jesus has affected your own life?

Prayer:
Father, today I want to take up the example of the shepherds and let everyone know how Jesus has affected my own life.
I'm not sure quite how to do this, but I ask You for the wisdom to tell them in a way that invites them and does not instead turn them away.
Thank You for Your wisdom today, Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
