And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. Luke 2:18
Joseph had an unexpected dream. Mary had a sudden guest. Zacharias received the shock of his life. Elizabeth got the desire of her heart long after it would seem possible. And the shepherds in our verse today got what may be the biggest surprise of them all. After hundreds of years of silence, the promised drought of the Lord's word ended in a surprising marvelous season. Angels were suddenly visible. Zach and Mary broke out in psalms. And shepherds, with no prior warning, came to town to spread the good news of a newborn king in Bethlehem. It was no wonder that people in Judea had a bit of trouble keeping up with the events blooming up all around them.
May your Christmas season be surprising and marvelous in Christ our Lord and Savior!
