Joy. Worship. Adoration.

The response of the shepherds when angels announced to them the birth of the Savior was to go "with haste" to Bethlehem to see the Son of God born as a babe in a manger. Then they spread the word and "all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds."

The magi came from afar, the shepherds came from nearby; they all came in earnest. And they beheld the One Who is the "image of the invisible God." The eternal Lord of creation was born as a babe in swaddling clothes.

It's a birthday that will never be forgotten. Merry Christmas.
