To ordinary workers in a silent field, heaven bursts forth with the announcement of Jesus’ birth: “Good news of great joy for all people.” The message transforms their fear into joy, sending them running to witness the newborn Savior.

The shepherds respond by glorifying God and sharing what they had seen and heard. Their joy becomes proclamation. Advent invites us into the same response, letting the good news interrupt our routines and overflow into praise and witness.

Scripture: Luke 2:1–20
