In preparing this morning's Sunday School Lesson, tho', God showed me something else: the shepherds, after being given the angelic proclamation, went to the stable to SEE the new-born Messiah. No doubt, they entered into the place pretty oblivious to the "animal aroma", the "earth-tone decor", or "animated objects" in the room. The only thing that captivated their attention--and held their worship--was the Christchild in the manger! What a picture of true worship: eyes held by the King of the Universe...provided in love, for even me!
