One of our favorite parts of the Christmas story is when Angels appear to the social- outcast shepherds and invite them to go see the newborn Savior of the world. What they heard and what they experienced gave them confidence to find the baby and share all they saw and heard. In Luke 2:20 we read the best line: “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” This week at Rockwell Church be encouraged that those of us who have placed our hope and trust in Jesus will be praising God for all eternity as we are experiencing all that we have been told and promised through Gods’ Word. Even though people in your life may not seem to want to hear the Good News from you, will you be faithful to share it?
