Breathtaking events draw people from the hills (and
everywhere else). Peculiar phenomena and momentous occurrences are like magnets
to mankind.
“I’ve just gotta see that for myself,” someone might say,
after hearing something remarkable has taken place. Nowadays, we might hit the
internet, looking for videos and photos before entering the happening’s
location in a GPS system and setting out to find the spot.
But in First century Bethlehem, the shepherds received the
news from the heavenly host. Immediately, they herded up their sheep and
scurried off to find the birthplace of the Savior of the world.
“When the angels had left them and gone
into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let's go to Bethlehem and see
this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’” (Luke 2:15,
NIV)
Arriving at the rustic stable, outside the overcrowded inn,
the shepherds knelt and worshipped the God-made-flesh, while he slept in the
hay-filled manger. The Good Shepherd curled up in swaddling cloths made His
home among His own.
And we are thankful.
