The Humble Shepherds

When God gets to tell the story of salvation, the Coming of the King, the birth of the Lamb of God—what details does He carefully include for us? Here's one that has shaped my whole outlook on life, on worship, on Bible study, and most of all—on prayer. God really loves and responds to humility.

Who came first to the birthplace of the King? The humblest, lowliest, and most unworthy in man's eyes of all the inhabitants living around Bethlehem—the shepherds.

Join me this morning in a stable with men of the least likely profession to see a King—and yet the most honored of all Christ's greeters and seekers.
