Wondering with the shepherds

Peter Jeffery comments on Luke 2.1-20

I wonder if the shepherds had ever read Habakkuk 2.3 ('For the revelation awaits an appointed time. It speaks to the end and will not prove false.') and longed for God to send his Messiah. The day in which they lived seemed far from a time when prophecy could be fulfilled. The Romans ruled their land and at the whim and word of the conqueror, the whole world had to move around to be counted. But as events were to show, it is at such times that God very often fulfils his promise.
