Luke 2:16-20
KJV 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
MSTC 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laid in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they published abroad the saying, which was told them of that child. 18 And all that heard it wondered, at those things which were told them of the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, praising and lauding God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was told unto them.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
16 They hurried they did wait till morning when the sheep would have been more safe or wait so someone else could watch the sheep, they left. We should be willing to drop everything we do to go to Christ and follow Him. A feeding trough was the first bed for the King, this shows the humble beginnings Christ had, The King came to earth and was placed in a trough, He who created the world was born in a place that man would never be put in.
17 After going then they told, they told what they saw about the angel and about the King having been born, the news of Messiah coming would spread because of these shepherds, we are also to share the news of Christ the gospel, with others.
18 The news of Christ will bring many reactions some are bad, few will be good. Amazement is a good reaction, it means what God did is sinking in and they may accept it as Truth.
19 Mary and Joseph may have both doubted what God was using them for, doubt often comes with God’s calling because we are unable to do God’s calling it is things we can not do the impossible but with Him it is made possible.
20 When we meet Christ we praise God, praise is something only God is due. Praise is something is we owe God but we can never pay the debt with praise this is why Christ came because we could not pay the debt of sin, He brought hope a hope the shepherds saw, a good not stop praising God over.
Better to be a servant of the King than to be a king in hell.

Sounds like there was great excitement for these early believers.

If an angel showed up and spoke to Anyone in today's world they would believe too. Want did Christ say to Thomas, but those who did not see and believe ...

Satan was an angel in at God's yet he rejected Him as Lord.
