Luke 2:13-15 (NKJV): "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men! So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
One moment shepherds were watching over their sheep, when suddenly they encountered a glorious display of the supernatural, changing their lives forever! God could have chosen to announce and reveal the birth of the Messiah to anyone; but He chose some nearby shepherds. They weren't royalty or member's of high society. They were ordinary, down-to-earth people. No doubt, these shepherds wondered why they, of all people, were chosen to witness this splendid exhibition of heavenly hosts. But isn't this the message of the Gospel: The last shall be first, the least shall be the greatest, and the humble shall be exalted? The Gospel is for anyone who recognizes their need for a Saviour. If you ever question whether you are worthy to have God's glory displayed in you - understand He chose to inhabit ordinary vessels so His glory could be magnificently displayed. This Christmas, encounter the Glory that is Jesus. Let His life flow in and through yours, making the ordinary extraordinary, and exchanging the natural for the supernatural.
