Luke 2:16-20 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Haste – those with great need run toward hope
Mary– lowliness made great in the hand of God
Joseph – faithful leadership and protection despite the wonder of it all
Jesus – eternal divinity in infant form
Manger – a sign of loving humility and painful mission
Made known the saying– good news must travel
Wondered– everyone should wonder at Jesus
Treasured up…pondering them– but character is formed by treasuring and pondering
Shepherds returned– be missional in your life station
Glorifying and praising God – the only appropriate response to the Incarnation of Christ
