And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
It’s amazing that the announcement of Christ’s birth came in such a magnificent way to lowly shepherds “abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.” When God says, “I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people,” He means all people. Aren’t you glad you are included in the “whosoever will” of God? Let’s be thankful, let’s be joyful!
