Why did God choose shepherds—the lowest of society—to be the first to hear about Jesus’ birth? What was God trying to communicate by bypassing the elite, the powerful, and the religious? In this episode, Stephen Davey takes you back to that incredible night when angels appeared to humble shepherds, giving them the honor of witnessing and sharing the news of the Messiah's birth. The shepherds’ story is one of divine grace, where those seen as unworthy by society were entrusted with the most glorious news ever told. Stephen explains why this heavenly 'reveal' was a profound demonstration of God’s grace—a message not just for the powerful but for every person, regardless of status.
You'll also hear about the miraculous return of angelic messengers after centuries of silence, how these shepherds were tending the very lambs destined for sacrifice in the Temple, and what it means for us today that God chose these men to testify about Jesus. Join us as we peel back the layers of this familiar story and see why God’s choice of shepherds speaks volumes about His character and His invitation to us all. Discover the Savior, the Christ, the Lord—born not just for the powerful, but for you.
