They’re rushing to Bethlehem, and then?
They rush off.
Luke 2:8-18
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
One minute the shepherds are rushing to Bethlehem, and then? They’re rushing off — off into different corners of the town of Bethlehem, off to the townspeople who haven’t had a chance to hear the good news.”
He came; they went.
In many ways these shepherds are the first evangelists of the Bible.
“I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
Why shepherds of all people?
He came; WE go.
All the surprising things we have in common with the shepherds.
Is the Church still going?
There’s been a decline in evangelism — particularly personal evangelism.
He came; we go to the ones nearest us.
He came; we go the ones at the ends of the earth.
Challenge: toward going to the folks who are far from their front door — folks who lives on streets in countries halfway around the world.
He came; we go.
He came; we go.
