“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.” - Luke 2:8
Christmas is incomplete without shepherds who worked the night shift. They tended their flock with watchful eyes while most slept comfortably at home. Few understood the sacrificial lifestyle of these shepherds, yet it Heaven noticed. The darkness of night gave way as angels appeared. These workers were the first to hear about the good news of Jesus’ birth. They were the first to see this newborn baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. They were honored by Heaven while living a simple, ordinary, faithful life.
