Just an ordinary night-shift, counting sheep. Yet, not to sleep, but to dutifully, watchfully do the work of a Bethlehem shepherd. Until suddenly an angel appeared with news that would change everything. Long-awaited, since the days of the garden, this glorious “suddenly” burst into time, interrupting the long dark night of history with the birth of the light of the world. The unfolding promise of prophecy was wrapped in swaddling cloths. The bread of life was nestled in a feeding trough. The hope of humanity – all at once and once for all – was born into the world He made so that we might be made whole in Him. This is Jesus – our long-awaited “suddenly” – today and always, appearing into our darkness with news of His glory and grace.
