The shepherds were amongst the most despised people in all of Israel. Unable to worship with the rest of the country, relegated to the outskirts of town, and untrusted, God chose to send the angelic announcement of the birth of Christ to this group. There is much we can learn from the shepherds about who God is and who God came to save. (Luke 2:8-20; Isaiah 53:3)
