the unexpected areas of your life.

Luke 2:15-21 (NASB)
15 When the angels had departed from them into heaven,
the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let’s go
straight to Bethlehem, then, and see this thing that has
happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

Luke 2:14 (NASB)
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
among people with whom He is pleased.”

A. It causes an accurate response

B. God raises your expectations

Luke 2:15-16 (NASB)
15 …Let’s go straight to Bethlehem, then, and see this
thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known
to us.” 16 And they came in a hurry and found their way
to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the
manger.

Luke 2:15 (NASB)

which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary
treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.

praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as
had been told them.
