Shepherds: The Unlikely Messengers

This message reflects on the shepherds in the Christmas story as an example of how God often chooses unlikely people to carry His greatest news. The shepherds were ordinary, overlooked, and socially insignificant, yet God entrusted them with the announcement of the Savior’s birth. Their story shows that God’s message is for everyone, especially those who feel unworthy or unnoticed. In the midst of fear and chaos, God’s presence brings peace, and His glory can appear in the most ordinary moments. Like the shepherds, believers are called to respond quickly to God’s prompting, share their story, be present with others, and become peacemakers who carry the hope of Christ into everyday life.
