Over these last few days, we’ve been spending time with those shepherds tending their flocks after a hard day at the office, when a spectacular light-show hit the sky – hosts of angels singing hosanna in the highest … can you imagine? And we saw how they reacted.
They ran … ran … to find Jesus lying there in that messy manger just as the angels had told them. So, as they burst in on the stable scene huffing and puffing, Mary and Joseph must have been wondering ‘what’s this all about?’ What are these guys doing here? Why are they so excited? Time to explain.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
