THE CHRISTMAS STORY TAKES US FROM THE MANGER TO THE FIELD NEARBY, WHERE AN ANGEL APPEARED TO SOME TERRIFIED SHEPHERDS, WHO GOT THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND WENT TO THE TOWN OF DAVID WHICH IS BETHELEM TO SEE THE BABY. THEY SPREAD THE WORD CONCERNING WHAT HAD BEEN TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS CHILD. ALL WHO HEARD IT WERE AMAZED AT WHAT THE SHEPHERDS SAID TO THEM.

GOD CHOOSE THE LOWEST MEMBERS OF SOCIETY TO ENTRUST THE GREATEST NEWS TO. SHEPHERDS HAD THE CAPACITY TO BE HUMBLED AND IT IS AMAZING THAT GOD CHOSE THEM TO HEAR THE NEWS FIRST.BEING A SHEPHERD IN THAT CULTURE, WAS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PRIVILEGED POSITION IN SOCIETY. THIS SHOWS THAT THE MESSAGE OF JESUS WAS FOR ALL PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE CONSIDERED TO BE INSIGNIFICANT OR MARGINALIZ3D

THE GOD WE SERVE LOVE HIS CHILDREN VERY MUCH AND NO MATTER YOU BEGINNING, HE IS OUR HOPE AND CONSOLATION IN THIS DIFFICULTY WORLD,
