Christmas Countdown: 3 days to go!

Three days until Christmas:
Shepherds, the reaction...
So the Shepherds decided that they had to go right away, and worship this tiny baby king. Their response to Jesus was several things:
-Firstly, it was immediate- they decided they needed to go and they needed to go now. How often do we put God on 'hold' and decide his work can wait until later?
-Secondly, they told people about it- they had some great news and didn't want to keep it to themselves. Can you think of a time you had an opportunity to share the gospel and didn't?
-And thirdly, it was worshipful- they brought a lamb to him, and for a poor shepherd, that would have been a lot of money. Do we always give Jesus the best of ourselves or just give him the leftovers?
