Ah, the shepherds. They play a big role in the narrative of Christ’s birth. They were the first to hear the news about the birth of the Messiah, the first to see the Messiah after he was born, and the first to herald his birth to others. God said he would exalt the humble. God took one of the lowest groups of people in society and used them for the honor of making the birth of the Savior known. Their privilege is ours as well. Let’s go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born. People still need to hear it and believe it.
