Revelation and Response
DECEMBER 14, 2022
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Luke 2:15
Recommended Reading: James 1:22–25
“Call and response” is one way a speaker or singer engages with an audience. “Can I get a witness?” is a call, and “Amen!” is a response. Call and response is used in music in both sacred and secular settings. It’s a way to keep the audience interested and involved.
At the heart of God’s interaction with mankind is “revelation (call) and response.” An example of revelation and response occurred in the Bethlehem hills when an angel announced the birth of Jesus to a group of shepherds. That was the revelation—the response was when the shepherds left “with haste” (Luke 2:16) and went to Bethlehem to find the newborn Baby. Their response of obedience led to their blessing of meeting the Messiah. The purpose of all God’s revelation is blessing, but revelation must be followed by response on our part.

What God has written he has written not for our opinion but for our obedience.
