Luke 3:20 Then the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
It's not everyday you have a load of shepherds knock on your front door asking to see your new baby is it and I expect Mary must have been exhausted after the birth? They had no family nearby to share their good news with, but suddenly there's a load of strangers standing on the doorstep!
Not only that but they were saying angels had appeared in the night sky to let these ordinary men be the first to know that God had sent a Saviour into the world and their baby was Him!
God had given them someone to share their baby news with after all, and the men were so thrilled and excited that they went out and told the people in town all about it too. Those shepherds just wanted to tell everybody!
It might be easy to lose the wonder and joy of Christmas, but not when we remember Christmas is still all about Jesus, about Peace and Goodwill from God to men through Him.
So whatever else is happening in your world, let's ask the Holy Spirit to help us recapture something of those shepherds' excitement this Christmas and give great praise and glory to God for all He's done for us in sending us our wonderful Saviour Jesus, because He really is worth celebrating. All glory to Him.
