Unwrapped | The Shepherds

God's ways of being, of doing, and of working are beyond our thoughts or our capacity to understand. He is a master of Story. A master of resources. Which is fitting because He is the master of all creation. Weaving intricately into all His creation His love and pursuit of humankind. To save us. To redeem us. We see this even in this short portion of scripture about the shepherds and them being the first ones to receive the message of Jesus' birth. And the more we study scripture, the more we see how God has been communicating to humankind His intentions to dwell with us from the beginning of creation until the end of all things. Which, for those who are in Christ Jesus, is not the end, it’s just the beginning. In this series, we "unwrap" some of the significant symbolism and meaning of the Christmas story.
