(The Shepherds) feared God above all and from Him came the Good News, His Good News. The shepherds followed and found and carried on the telling of the message they had received. They took it from God. What He said had happened, and they believed, most incredible of all, that this birth was for them, the birth of a Savior who is Christ the Lord. For them and for you, yes, for you. That is how much God loves you. It happened, and you have been told.
