Those on the outside can’t know this of course, but everything that we are told about Jesus, in the Gospels is true. When you read it, when you live it, when you see it for what it is, when you experience the reality of this truth, spontaneous praise is the natural reaction.
We’re not the first.
Look at Luke 2:20. “And that shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, Just As It Was Told To Them.”
What the angels had told them was happening turned out to be happening just as they had been told. Now, I’ve never seen an angel and I imagine that neither had the shepherds. Was it a dream? A group hallucination? As it turns out, the confirmation of events when they went into town and inspected for and found empirical data confirming what the angels had said, showed them it was neither.
It was the truth.
And they praise God.
Have you found your reaction to be the same? The Bible says, “Here is what life is like, here is what people are like, here is what you are like,” and life (observation, testing and verification) proves it to be true. When Jesus says, “Come to Me and I’ll give you rest,” we come to Him and we find rest.
His promised peace and joy are now present in your life.
Perfect love drives out fear and fear is gone.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
