Go Tell It On The Mountain
“And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.” (Luke 2:17-18)
Today’s Morsel: The birth of Jesus was not to be kept a secret. It was to be proclaimed to the world. When Jacob came down into Egypt, to be with his son Joseph, they were told to tell Pharoah, when he asked of them of their occupation, that they were shepherds. Because the shepherds were abomination to the Egyptians (Genesis 46:32-34) It’s amazing that the angels would appear to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night and would appear to them first to bring them light and the good news. Pastors are called shepherds. And they must be abomination to the world while overseers of the flocks and proclaiming the wonderful news of the things told to them of God and the things which they have seen. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7)
Sing: God tell it on the mountain, over the hill and everywhere, go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Thought For Today: “But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.” (Acts 26:25-26)
