Intorduction
As we approach the Christmas season life again seems to become so busy doesn’t it?
I am sure that most of you are doing shopping for relatives, or starting to plan for parties, or involved in different activities with family or the Church such as the Christmas play.
It is a busy season we can all agree and sometimes it gets so busy that we just forget to stop breathe and say hello to Jesus and remember why we are celebrating this season in the first place.
Every year I tell myself and my wife.
This year we are going to do a lot more Christmas activities and every year it seems as if the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas just flies by.
You see if I want to take part in some Christmas festive activity there needs to be an effort made on my end to get up and go and do so.
I cannot expect all the lights, candles, and fun activities to come to my doorstep whenever I give them a call.
There were some shepards who had to make the same decision.
Let’s take a look at their story for a moment.
You see the shepards heard that a Savior had been born.
The interesting is that the religious leaders knew, others knew.
The high status people knew that Christ was to be born but they never took it upon themselves to go and see if the promise of the Messiah was true.
If I could give you a little background context on shepards it might change the way you look at this story.
At one point in their lives shepards were regarded as higher status.
The patriachs themselves would watch over their own flocks.
As the Israelites were taking into captivity that view of shepards began to change.
Farmers would look down on shepard and soon enough Israels view of was completely different.
No longer was just anyone a shepard, but it was the lowly who would assume the position.
The outcasts.
It was not a saught after position.
