The answer is: Went quickly to Bethlehem

Luke 2:15 - likewise we should seek out our Saviour without delay.

As the quiet night enveloped the fields near Bethlehem, these shepherds were thrust into an extraordinary moment of revelation. To them, the announcement carried by celestial beings must have been utterly astounding! Imagine the looks on their faces when the angels declared the birth of the Messiah—a symbol of hope and salvation for all humankind. No wonder, then, they left their sheep behind, putting all on hold to witness this miraculous event.

The urgency with which the shepherds acted reminds us that we, too, are often in a hurry for trivial things! But here their immediate instinct was to seek out something of true significance—something that would resonate through centuries. The narrative challenges readers to embrace that same eagerness; after all, it isn’t every day that the divine makes an entrance into the world.

Interestingly, the shepherds were among society's lowly, representing those marginalized by their culture. This choice illustrates a profound principle: the message of love and hope often reaches the forgotten corners of the world. Another enriching tidbit is that models throughout the story point to the concept of "light," echoing additional traditions where light signifies deliverance and joy.

So, as we reflect on the shepherds’ actions, think about how we can earnestly seek to connect with deeper truths, unashamedly following paths that lead us to our own beautiful insights of love, kindness, and understanding.
