Christmas - Why the shepherds?

(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: The narrative of the birth of Jesus Christ is a story of precision where every detail has meaning and purpose. The appearance of the angels to the shepherds is a significant element of the story as it reveals God's preference for the humble and rejected by society. God chose shepherds to witness the birth of His Son to show that He is interested in humble people and wants to share His wealth with those who are humble of heart. The story also reminds us to keep our hearts humble and simple, and to love and serve those in need.

The reason why God chose the shepherds to witness the birth of Jesus was to show that He is interested in humble and simple-hearted people. The Ministry of Jesus is like that of a shepherd, patient and fierce in defending His sheep. The Lord chose the shepherds because they were awake and ready to witness the birth of Jesus. We should remember that the Lord is our shepherd who guides and protects us, always watching over us. We should be diligent and vigilant in our faith, investing in our spiritual growth, and sharing the Gospel with others. We must break down walls between ourselves and God, serving Him with all our hearts.

The speaker urges the audience to break down walls between themselves and God, and to be diligent and daring in serving the Lord. They encourage reflection on whether their character and life align with Christ's teachings, and urge them to be prepared for Christ's coming. The speaker invites those who want to invite Christ into their hearts to raise their hand, and prays for them. The audience is blessed and urged to testify to the world about the deliverance made possible through Christ's birth and blood.

Luke chapter 2 verses from 8 to 20: “There were shepherds in the same region where the Lord was born, who kept watch and kept watch over his flock by night. And, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.”

“But the angel said to them: Behold, I bring you tidings of great joy that will be for all the people, that a savior who is Christ the Lord has been born for you today in the city of David. This will serve as a sign for you: you will find the child wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
