WOW! What a great experience for some ordinary shepherds. They went and saw the babe and then spread the news abroad. They went and told others because they knew it was something special, not something to be kept to themselves. Sad to say, there are people today who only look at this as a Christmas story and nothing more. But to those of us who have accepted Jesus into our lives as Saviour and Lord, it is only the beginning. Jesus came on a night so very long ago and He's still alive today. I'm sure those shepherds were never the same again and Jesus is still in the business of changing lives today.
Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour? If you haven't, why not ask Him right now to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. Then go out and spread it abroad that Jesus Christ has come. What a wonderful way to start your New Year.
