The Good Unsettling News of Christmas. Luke 2:25-35. The angel announced good news to the shepherds, (Luke 2:10) but that’s not the whole story. Our reading of the Nativity often ends with verse 20. In the following verses, however is our first hint that this baby would grow up and shake things up. This quake is the beginning of a great judgment that will set things right but even those who find salvation in it will be shaken by it. Is our celebration of Christmas still only a story about a baby or the amazing, eternal story about the person into whom the baby grew to be? When you and I, encounter the Christ of Christmas we too shall be shaken.
