Luke 2:15 - Additional Comments

Note the shepherds response - immediate, total trust. May we respond to God's call in the same fashion! The actions of these men are to be honored. And again, when they found the child, to accept Him as the Christ, and not think less of Him because of his position in life, enough to pass on the news (2:17). Again, another reason why the Jewish leaders were not approached by the angels.
