11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the
Lord.
12 This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped
in cloths and lying in a manger.
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is
pleased.”
15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began
saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known
to us.”

What if that is okay?
Just consider this
What if an all knowing God created people full of curiosity
so that they may come to know Him in fullness?
Ephesians 1:9-10
He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He
purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in
Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.
Colossians 1:18-20
He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father’s
good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the
blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began
saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known
to us.”
