Day 26: Shepherds tell everyone what they have seen
Read Luke 2:15-21


Luke 2:17 - And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.

When the shepherds had seen Jesus, just as the angel had told them, they went into town to tell everyone what the angel had said to them and how they had found everything just as they had been told.

Please remember, the shepherds were not socially welcome people. Others usually avoided being near them. So why would God announce His great message of the promised Messiah, who had now come, through such people? He told them and sent them to the manger to see Jesus because they were available and willing to go.

Do you ever feel you are not good enough, cannot speak well enough, cannot dress like others, or maybe you have some kind of physical limitation like scars or illness or are unable to walk, so you think that others will not listen to you? Do not let these things keep you from telling others about Jesus. You do not even need a seminary degree or great knowledge or be an eloquent speaker. All Jesus asks you to tell are the things you have seen and heard and experienced from Him. Has He given you hope when you were in despair? Has He given you wisdom when you were desperate on an exam? Has He given you love for someone you know you could never have loved by yourself?

*Tell someone today what Jesus has done for you.
