“The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Luke 2:20 (NIV)
We have considered during these days many of the verses, from the Gospel of Luke, that tell the story of the night Jesus was born. Much of what is recorded in Luke is of the shepherds who had such a special part in the Christmas story. They heard the news of the birth of Jesus. They heard the angelic host sing praises and the promise of peace. They went immediately to see the new-born child and they spread the word to the people they met. Then they went back to take care of their sheep. You and I can come to the end of our Christmas celebration this year in the same way the shepherds did. We can glorify and praise God for all we have been reminded of and are learning. If we have accepted Jesus as Savior because we have believed in Him, we have experienced the joy of His presence in our lives. We know some of the promises given to us and we learn more as we read and study the Bible. The reason Jesus came has been made true in our lives. As we return to ordinary duties, let us continue glorifying and praising God for all the things we have received from Him and for what we know is true.
