As the cry of a newborn baby breaks through the silence, light also breaks through the darkness. The glory of God has returned announcing the child’s birth to shepherds. This unlikely audience rushes to find this gift for all and then responds in the only way that was, and still is, appropriate. This Christmas Eve we will be reminded of the significance of how Jesus came, why he was needed, and compelled to do as the shepherds did and spread the word of all we have been told about this child!
