CALVIN SYNOD HERALDI 11 amazing in itself because shepherds normally did nothing quickly. They were patient men, accustomed to moving slowly through the pastures. They could have doubted or delayed but instead they decided to act and they moved. They went and saw. The first thing they did was they went to Bethlehem. They wanted to see the baby with their own eyes. They left and shared. It’s striking that they don’t pull up a bale of straw and make themselves comfortable. They didn’t hang around the manger because they knew that they were now managers of the message. What’s cool here is that the shepherds went back to their same boring jobs but they weren’t the same on the inside. They returned to where they started and were attentive again. Notice that they didn’t write a book or go on a speaking tour...“The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” They don’t just wonder about what they saw, they worship Him who they saw. The shepherds were changed forever by what they saw and you and I can be as well if we follow their example. You see, Christmas is really His story but it must become our story. Rt. Rev.
