Luke 2:15

Luke 2:15
KJV 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
MSTC 15 And it fortuned, as soon as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is happened, which the Lord hath showed unto us."

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

We can spend all our time waiting around on angels to give us a message but on the rare occasion this happens it is always followed by action, if it was needed to be done then the angel would have been sent. Angels simply bring God’s message. They knew where they needed to go there was no asking about it or praying more on it. God at times gives us clear answers and directions when He does this we need to act and not stall with praying or asking others but follow where He wants to lead us. They were told what happened but things are worth seeing with our own eyes, them wanting to go see was not a lack of faith, if they had a lack of faith they would not have took time to go. To see the Lord’s work is something that we can only know after we have faith.

Hi Clark

Two things I see in this short passage.

1) The shepherds believed without question that they were told the truth.

2) They sought to be in the presents of the Christ.
