Luke 2:8-20
Perhaps we all tend to identify with the shepherds of the nativity story because they were just common, ordinary people like us. It was to them that the angels first announced the birth of the Savior, sending them to find the Christ Child in a manger in Bethlehem. Their hearts were filled with wonder, but there was much they did not yet understand about that precious baby.
They didn’t know the child sleeping in a manger was also a Lamb.
- John 1:29
- Revelation 5:12
They also didn’t know that he would be a Shepherd.
- John 10:14
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God sent into the world to save us from our sins. He is also the Good Shepherd who came to seek and save us.
