Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 2:18

And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.Wondered ...

This is the attitude of the vast majority of men in all generations. The greatest news of all ages had broken in their community, and the people "wondered" about it. It reminds one of the newspaper editor... read more
