GO AND PROCLAIM

Have you ever seen something so incredible you couldn’t wait to tell someone? Maybe you stood in awe of a skyline or mountain range, completely amazed by its beauty. Or maybe it was something simpler—a new taco shop, a new movie you saw, a good experience that you just had to share. When something truly moves us, we want to tell everyone about it.

That’s what happened with the shepherds. One ordinary night turned extraordinary when the sky filled with angels proclaiming the birth of a Savior. Their fear turned to joy as they ran to Bethlehem and found everything just as the angels had said. Standing before the newborn Messiah, they couldn’t keep it to themselves. Scripture says they spread the word about what they had seen and heard—and everyone who heard it was amazed.

When you’ve really encountered Jesus, you can’t help but tell others. The same God who met those shepherds meets us too—saving, forgiving, healing, and restoring. And when He changes your life, keeping it to yourself isn’t an option.

Have you had an encounter with Jesus? If you know Him, let someone hear your testimony. Tell them what He’s done in your life—how He’s forgiven you, guided you, or brought you peace. You don’t need a big stage; you just need a story. Like the shepherds, go and proclaim what you’ve seen. When you share the good news, you carry hope to others who need to hear it.
