Night Shift Shepherd
Luke 2:8-20
Who do you identify with in the Christmas story?
Let us examine shepherds and perhaps we can discover the qualities that God saw.
First of all, they were religious outcasts.
Not only that, but shepherds were borderline social outcasts.
It gave them a lot of contact with sheep, but very little exposure to people.
Maybe He chose the shepherds because God compares His relationship with us as that of a shepherd with His sheep.
They remind us of our faithful God. And we also need to be faithful – to God and to those God has entrusted to our care.
If any of that description strikes a chord with you, then I have good news. Great news. The best news possible. God loves you. Just like He loved those shepherds.
They simply obeyed and went.
They shared the good news with others.
After they made known abroad the good news, then they worshipped.
We can learn a lot from a simple Night Shift Shepherd.
