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.”

Luke 2:15

After the shepherds heard the good news through the angel, they decided to go to Bethlehem. They wanted to see with their own eyes what the angels had announced to them.

And indeed, arriving in Bethlehem, the shepherds found Mary, her husband Joseph and found the newborn Jesus. Like any other baby, Jesus was completely and utterly dependent on his mother. Dependent on Mary to feed him and change his diapers. God truly became man.

Not only theoretically, but practically. Jesus is still alive today and can be experienced in real terms. He is truly man and God at the same time. So let us set out like the shepherds to Bethlehem. Let us look for Jesus, who humbled himself out of love, in order to give us true in the midst of our neediness and to bring peace to our hearts.

When will you set out to seek Jesus?
