1. I think that Luke got the info about the registration wrong. It happened in 7 AD, too late. But it happened at least 50 years before Luke wrote.2. There was no inn. The word means upper room, the main living quarters of the house. The stable was the cave underneath where Mary could have some privacy.
What did the shepherds think? They were told the Messiah was born – he who would deliver Israel. From who? Herod? The corrupt priests in the temple? What sort of deliverance do we want in our lives?
What did the shepherds think?
– it sounds almost unbelievable but I think the shepherds must have really felt the presence of God and been filled with spirit and then awe & compulsion & conviction to go and visit Mary / Jesus and then to share this news afterwards. I can only think that when we are filled with God’s spirit we know it is right and are filled with conviction. They must also somewhere in the hearts have been hoping / desiring if deliverance from their current life situation
