They left their flocks, their usual life, and made haste to Bethlehem. Because they repented. They changed their minds about the comfort of a settled life and went to kneel before the unlikely infant King. And then they told everyone. So it goes around the world and through the centuries. One to one, heart to heart. The glory of God has been revealed in a helpless child lying in a manger. Repent, turn from yourself, and you will be enabled to see that this child is the King, the fulfillment of all our hopes. The joy of all our desiring.

No accident then when Jesus claimed his roots in David the Shepherd King as he declared, “I am the Good Shepherd. I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10). This is the one for whom they had been waiting a thousand years. He would be the King of Peace.
