They lived on the margins of Ancient Near Eastern culture, and yet the good news of Jesus’ birth was announced to them first! Why? Because they were eager for good news. And when they heard, they believed the good news, they shared it with others, and they worshipped God for the gift of His incarnate Son. Are you eager for good news today?!
