Why The Bethlehem Shepherds, Part 2 | The Birth of Christ

God sent His angels to the Bethlehem shepherds, why?

Why did God pick common shepherds to be the first to hear of, and witness the birth of Christ? God has always required leadership that mimics a shepherd, and that’s how he reveals himself. The birth of Jesus Christ and the Shepherd’s being the first witnesses of the baby, help to identify Jesus as our shepherd King. When you hear the story of Jesus’s birth this season, listen with new ears and hear from God about His merciful, shepherding leadership. God’s heart is the heart of a shepherd.
