Don’t Look Back!
A really good quote from Satchel Paige a great baseball player from the early 1900’s had said in his book “Don’t look back, something may be gaining on you.” The bible also calls for us not to look back…Luke 9:61-62; Luke 17:32.

In Luke 2:10-11 an angel of the Lord visits some shepherds in a field watching over their flock at night. They were the first to hear and to celebrate the wonderful birth of the Son of God.

What we do know is they were wise because they sought the Messiah the King of the Jews. We know that when they came they found Jesus in a house.

Burden Lifting Day
God’s prophecies are always on schedule. Some came faster than others but all were fulfilled right when God promised they would be. The curtain opens again after several hundred years of silence from God and the prophets to prepare for the birth of Christ. This preparation brings an announcement to Zacharias and Elizabeth in the book of Luke…
