After Christmas, I re-read the familiar stories of the season when I have some time to reflect on them outside the busy schedules. There’s nothing earth shattering here (or maybe there is).
"When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” ~ Luke 2:15
Let’s us go! Now! When angels came to some shepherds with a brilliant message one night long ago, the shepherds had a brilliant idea. Let’s go! Let’s see what God is doing!
What if the shepherds had yawned, “That’s interesting, some other time,” and remained sitting in the night, in the dirt, in the comfort of predictable hardships and familiar enemies? Would the joy promised have found them anyway? Let’s not test that speculation with our lives.
Let’s go! Let’s see what God is doing
