When the angels returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go right now to Bethlehem and see what’s happened. Let’s confirm what the Lord has revealed to us.” They went quickly and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw this, they reported what they had been told about this child. Everyone who heard it was amazed at what the shepherds told them. Mary committed these things to memory and considered them carefully. The shepherds returned home, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. Everything happened just as they had been told. When eight days had passed, Jesus’ parents circumcised him and gave him the name Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he was conceived. (Luke 2:15-21, CEB)
The shepherds wanted to confirm what the angels told them, so they went and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. Just as they were told. They found Jesus!
Then they shared what had happened and Mary committed it all to memory and pondered what it all meant.
What does this mean for Mary?
What does this mean for you?
