Luke 2:12
The Angels had just told the shepherds the best bit of news ever told. A Savior has been born in Bethlehem. But they didn't stop there.
They went on to give the shepherds a sign to look for. They prepared the shepherds to know what to look for when they went to Bethlehem to meet the Lord. Bethlehem was a big city and it was very busy and crowded at the time. Without that sign, the shepherds would not have known what they were looking for. There may have been dozens of babies born at the same time, yet only one was wrapped in strips of cloth and was lying in a manger. They knew exactly which baby was the one they heard about.
God made sure that those shepherds were prepared to see the Lord, and in the same way, He wants to prepare us, and even the world, to see His glory yet again!
