…the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come
to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us…And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as
it was told unto them.” (Luke 2:15, 20)
In the “Family Circus”
cartoon the children were down on the floor playing in front of the TV. A
commercial came on and the excited announcer came on the TV and said, “This
promises to be the best Christmas ever!” Little Billy responded, “Do you mean
even better than the first one?”
The shepherds had to see
for themselves what was told them. When they did, they glorified and praised
God for what they had heard and seen. Christmas must be experienced first hand.
The gift of God’s Son must be received personally. The Bible says, “As
many as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on His name.” (John 1:12) One receives the gift of eternal life by
faith in God’s Son.
Receive God’s gift to
you and have a wonderful Christmas.
