"And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."
Luke 2:15
I like this follow-up by the shepherds. Even when an angel visits you, that doesn't force you to change your life or enforce a committment to God. (For instance, Laman and Lemuel.) It's still on us to follow through and do as the Lord asks, or to go and see what the Lord has told us about, which is what these shepherds did... they took action and followed through on a message from God.
Let's do the same. Messages from God are all through the scriptures, but one of the biggest ones is to seek Christ. This is what the shepherds were doing, and what we can still do, every day. He is there to be found, and as we seek and follow him, we will be blessed.
