A Time of Celebration part II

In Luke 2:8-20 a group of shepherds were watching their flocks in a field near the town of Bethlehem. suddenly an angel appeared while the glory of the Lord shown all around them; this frightened the shepherds. However, the angel had a joyous announcement concerning the Messiah's birth, whom they would find wrapped up in the cloths and lying in a manger. suddenly when they entered Bethlehem, they saw the child and told Mary and Joseph all they had heard and seen. Mary heard these things and treasured them in her hear. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying the Lord for all they had heard and seen.
