Luke 2:15
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”




Reflection
Today is Christmas Eve.  Traditionally, people will celebrate in homes, churches and in gatherings everywhere the birth of Jesus.  Tonight as we gather for our services of Christmas at Southport United Methodist Church we will be doing in our own way what the shepherds did on that first Christmas.  “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened.”  We might not physically be going to Bethlehem but as we gather in worship we are, in our own way, recognizing that a great thing has happened. 

Jesus is born!  The Savior has come!
What has it meant in your life to “go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened.”?
