(Luke 2: 8 - 20, Colossians 1: 24 -27)
While most people were asleep on what was just another ordinary night, in a dream - state and unaware.
An event was unfolding in a small Judean town called Bethlehem. It was revealed to angels, seekers and shepherds.
And, to those who saw, it was marked by glory Heaven had come, but the world slept.
The Christ, the King of the ages was here.
The shepherds would not have felt out of place in the cattle stall.
The seeker - kings worshipped - the environment unimportant, because this child would speak to all - High or Low.
This event continues, for those who can see, something is still happening, even as the world still sleeps.
For seekers and shepherds, the Christ is still being born in the hearts of those who believe.
It is going on, every day, in a world that still sleeps But in need of answers
Christ in you - the hope of glory - the hope of the Nations!
