Jesus starts as he means to go on. Jesus was never just interested in the posh people, Jesus always came for every single person on this earth. Shepherds were considered the low life’s at the time Jesus was born. They were smelly and certainly couldn’t read or write, they probably swore and spat and generally acted in an unpleasant way. Yet God choose them to announce the arrival of his Son on this earth. God sent an Angel to people that generally would not be listened to and said right now go and find him and then tell everyone. God has a habit of using people who don’t think they have the skills to do important stuff. Look at Moses, another stuttering shepherd who God used to deliver his people. Or David a small shepherd boy who defeated the gigantic Goliath. And now we have the shepherds’ announcing the arrival of the saviour of the World. If God can used the low of the low to do this important role of telling the world about Jesus. What’s your excuse?
