THE WISE MEN
The wise men understood the following verse;
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4
They were astronomers, wise men, magi from the the East, these were very educated and smart men.
"For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him". Matthew 2:2
Behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. Matthew 2:9-10
THE SHEPHERDS
I love that the angel of the Lord appeared to ordinary shepherds tending their flock. Remember Jesus is the great shepherd who watches over his "sheep". This is what happened to those shepherds;
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around then, and they were greatly afraid. The the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you, you will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. Luke 2:9-12
And if that was not enough, SUDDENLY, I love when God does a SUDDENLY!
And SUDDENLY there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" Luke 2:13-14
