The first to hear the greatest announcement in history were humble shepherds, not royalty or the religious elite. In Luke 2:8-20, the angelic proclamation of the Savior's birth reveals God’s grace in reaching the lowly. The shepherds’ immediate faith and joyful proclamation challenge us to respond to the gospel with urgency and boldness. As we reflect on this extraordinary birth announcement, may we, too, proclaim the good news of Jesus with joy and haste.
