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 first witnesses of the shepherds help to identify Him as our shepherd King. As 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.
