The Joy of the Shepherds

from The Well Church of the Nazarene · host marysvillenazarene

It's possible that our familiarity with the Christmas story hinders our ability to see the absurdity of it--and it's within that absurdity that we find a nugget of Good News! An angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds and said, "Fear not! I bring you good news that will cause great joy for ALL people." And who did the angel deliver this message to? Those that would easily qualify as the least likely to have God's favor on them. The insignificant. And yet, the absurdity of the Christmas story--that the lowest of the low were the first to know about the Christ child--reveals the character of God. He steps into our insignificance...and redeems it. Video/Song Clip Credit: Tyler Childers https://youtu.be/Lt4Vl4pKDsQ?si=YybQaKI8-AJgwL8l
