In the Bethlehem hills, we meet three shepherds whose lives are about to change. Despite being considered awkward and untrustworthy, God chose them. In the Bible, God often likens Himself to a shepherd, caring for skittish and vulnerable people. The shepherds' role in Christ's birth story emphasizes spiritual guidance and God's care for His people. Picture yourself with the shepherds on a grassy hill, gazing at the vast universe. Suddenly, an angel proclaims joyous tidings, announcing the Savior's arrival. This joy stems from the assurance that God hasn't abandoned us. We worship a God who rescues and raises us to glory despite our flaws. The shepherds' inclusion shows God values people over status symbols. Christmas isn't just for us; it glorifies God.
