From the Study

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” 15 When
the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over
to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And
they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when
they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.

Luke 2:13-17

What a birth announcement! The shepherds were terrified, but their fear turned to joy as the angels announced the Messiah’s birth. First the shepherds ran to see the baby; then they spread the word. These shepherds told everyone who would listen all that they had heard and seen. Often people who try to tell all that they know are politely avoided. It can be boring to listen to someone who never stops to take a breath. But in the shepherds’ case, people listened, because: (1) Shepherds were not supposed to know much, and these shepherds had startling information; (2) The message was revolutionary, breathtaking, and transformative. It changed listeners’ lives. (3) The shepherds spoke from the heart, and their words connected to the deepest needs of others. When you tell about Jesus, start with what you know best: your life experience. Tell the story of God in your life. You don’t need to embellish, but don’t hold back either. Your words will change many, and God will use you to change the world.

The Donnelley family wishes you all a Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

In His Service,

Pastor Lowell.
