When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

After the period of praising and glorifying God, the shepherds decided to go to Bethlehem to see if the message that the angel delivered to them was true. When they arrived, they saw that the Savior was truly born and began to tell all the people who were visiting Mary and Joseph what the angel told them. The people wondered about what the shepherds were speaking, but Mary listened to what the shepherds said and thought about it
We know as children of God that our Savior Jesus Christ was born and is alive in you and me. We also know that what God says is always true and we should never doubt him.
