Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

After hearing about the Holy Spirit pouring out on the gentiles after Peter spoke to the people, they were more than willing to give God the glory so they too would be covered by the spirit!

No more complaining, no more objecting, just full acceptance that Jesus was not leaving anyone out of this glorious gift He had given to us.

This is all received in faith! Jesus had returned to be with God in heaven and now the disciples, apostles and anyone will to spread the good news, were all doing exactly that!

Good News to Everyone!

Luke 2:20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

When the shepherds had learned of the good news of Christ’s birth and had seen the baby in the manger as predicted, they went back to their fields…

But they where not quiet about what they had seen, they broadcast the fact giving glory to God and their Messiah who they had worship in the stable.

They repeated what they had heard, not just from the angel, but also what they had heard from Joseph and Mary; after all, they had seen it with their own eyes.

Luke 2:11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

We are probably not celebrating the birth of Jesus on the correct day because we do not know the exact day; but we know it happened!

The shepherds, some of the lowest people in society, were among the first to be told of the birth of the Messiah; not in prophesy but in real time!

From this day forward Jesus was going to be in human form amongst us to show us the direction and the truth.

A very Merry Christmas to you all with Christ’s richest blessings!
