Luke
2:8 And in the same region there were shepherds our in the field keeping watch
over their flock by night
I
love how God in His wisdom included shepherds in the Christmas story. I’ll
admit that I’ve never given much thought to shepherds. I mean, apart from this
verse in the bible I probably never thought of them at all. It’s not like we
have them all over the place here in America. Yet, our pastor several months
ago did a sermon series on the 23rd Psalm. They were without a doubt
some of my favorite sermons ever. I garnered a new respect for shepherds; not
just any shepherd mind you, but “Our” shepherd, Jesus. He is our true shepherd.
The one who watches over us at night, whether the actual night in which we
sleep or in our darkest days night. He is the one who guides us and protects
us. He is the great shepherd.
