“And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.” Luke 2:17-18 (ESV)
The second chapter of the Gospel of Luke is where we look frequently during this Christmas time. We've often considered the message the angel gave to the shepherds and the choir of angels' song of praise. Today we consider how the shepherds passed on this message to others. After quickly going to where the new-born Jesus was and worshiping Him they could not keep the news to themselves. We have no idea how many people the shepherds talked to in the town of Bethlehem and on their way back to their sheep. They of course told Mary and Joseph what the angel had told them about Jesus but evidently they met others in town and told them also. So the shepherds became preachers and witnesses that night as they passed on this news which was extra special for them. The news of a Savior is extra special for us too. When we believe, our lives are changed and we need to pass the news on too.
