The
shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had
heard and seen, just as had been told them.
Luke 2:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The shepherds heard the angels’ proclamation
of the birth of the Savior and witnessed Christ as a child. They fully believed
that He was the Son of God. They saw the fulfillment of prophecy and that
realization caused them to glorify and praise God. It brought them joy! It
should also bring us joy. What we have read in the Bible is true, God loved us
so much that He sent His Son to ransom us from sin and death so that we could
be forever with Him. That should be cause for greater joy that our lives could
contain! Take some time to consider what you actually believe. If you believe
all of this is true but it doesn’t bring you joy, consider why. What does the
birth of your Savior mean to you?
