The Message of the Shepherds (Luke 2:8-20)

During his life on earth, Jesus used shepherd imagery over and over and it is one of the most common images of the Bible. But who were the shepherds of Bethlehem? What did they experience and what can we learn from them that might change our hearts and lives even today. And why did God choose them to be the first to hear the good news of his birth? This message looks at the biblical theology of shepherds throughout the Scriptures to reveal some of God's amazing plan for His people as revealed throughout history.
