Picture this: You just got the coolest, most amazing news ever! Maybe you won tickets to see your favorite team play, or you’re getting a puppy, or your family is going to Disney World! What’s the first thing you want to do? Tell someone, right? You probably want to tell EVERYONE!

That’s exactly what happened with the shepherds in Bethlehem! They were just hanging out with their sheep one night when suddenly—BOOM!—angels appeared in the sky and told them that the Savior had been born! The shepherds ran to find baby Jesus, and when they saw Him, they couldn’t keep quiet. The Bible says they “made widely known” what they had heard. That means they told EVERYBODY!

Some people say they believe in Jesus, but they never talk about Him. But if we REALLY believe that Jesus is God’s Son who came to save us from our sins and give us eternal life in heaven, how can we NOT tell people? That’s the most important news in the universe!

The shepherds couldn’t stop talking about Jesus. Can you? When something is super important to us, we naturally want to share it with others!

Take Action: This week, look for one opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. It doesn’t have to be complicated! You could invite a friend to church, or tell someone why you celebrate Christmas, or share how Jesus helps you when you’re scared or sad, or pray with someone who needs help. Remember, the shepherds were so excited they couldn’t stop talking! Let your excitement about Jesus show!
