Imagine for a moment being one of the shepherds in Luke 2:8–12. You are going about your job, looking after the sheep, you like the solitary. However, the people in the nearby town don’t really respect you. Other shepherds haven’t helped. People think you are smelly, a likely thief, a bit odd and not deserving of much respect.
Then in the stillness of the night, out of the blue, an amazing power surrounds you, God’s glory is in your midst.
How would you feel? Would you be terrified like the shepherds or comforted?
Carlos and Sarah Bernal lead us from Luke 2:8–12.
