WAKE UP!!!

"The Shepherds and the Angel" By Carl Heinrich Bloch

Luke 2:8-15

8 There were shepherds in that region, out in the open, keeping a night watch around their flock. 9 An angel of the Lord stood in front of them. The glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

10 ‘Don’t be afraid,’ the angel said to them. ‘Look: I’ve got good news for you, news which will make everybody very happy. 11 Today a savior has been born for you – the Messiah, the Lord! – in David’s town. 12 This will be the sign for you: you’ll find the baby wrapped up, and lying in a feeding-trough.’

13 Suddenly, with the angel, there was a crowd of the heavenly armies. They were praising God, saying,

14 ‘Glory to God in the highest,
and peace upon earth among those in his favor.’

15 So when the angels had gone away again into heaven, the shepherds said to each other, ‘Well then; let’s go to Bethlehem and see what it’s all about, all this that the Lord has told us.’

Ohhhhhh man... I needed a wake up big time lately and I'm thankful for this space to work out some thoughts about this scripture and time....
