Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 25, 2023

Although Luke’s account of the shepherds going to see baby Jesus is filled with familiar details, the thread that ties the whole thing together is what the shepherds were told about the child. We hear that connection three times in these verses.

An angel of the Lord had brought them “good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” And the angel told ...read more
