“And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger.” Luke 2:12
The shepherds were in the field that night watching the
sheep when the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel of the Lord announced
that a Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in the city of David, and suddenly a
multitude of the heavenly host joined the angel in praising God. When the angels
went back into heaven, the shepherds headed to Bethlehem, looking for the sign
of a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger, as the angel said.
After seeing Mary, Joseph, and the newborn Christ, the shepherds told everyone they
met about the Messiah’s birth, then returned to the field, praising God.
We know the glad tidings of Jesus’ birth, but have you
personally found, received, and opened the treasured gift of God’s Son, called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace?
If you have, do others looking for Jesus see Christ in you no matter the
wrappings of your circumstances?
