In Bethlehem’s town, shepherds did see
A baby born to set people free
They spread the good news
Of a Savior to choose
And praised God for what they did see

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Luke 2:15-21 is to reflect on the importance of obedience and faithfulness in our own lives. The shepherds in this passage were obedient to the angel’s message and went to see Jesus, and they responded with joy and praise after witnessing the fulfillment of the prophecy.

We can apply this by being obedient to God’s word and following His leading in our lives. This may involve stepping out in faith, even when it doesn’t make sense or seems difficult. It also means responding with gratitude and praise for the ways that God is working in and through our lives.

Additionally, we can use this passage as a reminder to share the good news of Jesus with others. Just as the shepherds couldn’t keep their experience to themselves, we should be eager to share the hope and joy found in Christ with those around us.

Ultimately, this passage challenges us to live lives of obedience, faithfulness, and proclamation of the good news, just as the shepherds did on the night of Jesus’ birth.
