Luke 2:16-18
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.  When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.


Reflection
Today is the celebration of Christmas.  Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  What did the shepherds do when they witnessed the coming of the Savior into the world?  They spread the word.  They told everyone they met, far and wide, about this great thing that had happened in the birth of Jesus.  When the shepherds told others about the good news of Jesus they were amazed at what God had done.

Today, let us think about what would happen if we would follow the example of the shepherds and share the good news of Jesus with others.  As we share Jesus I am sure that many people will be amazed at the love and forgiveness that is found in Jesus?

When was the last time you shared with someone how much Jesus means to you?
