Shepherds
Shepherds were dirty. And yet, God sent the birth announcement of his Son to them. Does this impact how you do ministry?
Shepherds
Not who you’d pick to receive Jesus’ birth announcement.
Physically dirty. They lived with sheep. Got sheep things on them. Stepped in sheep things.
Religiously dirty. The people who watched after the sheep that would become their sacrifice could not go into the temple because of the sheep making them dirty.
Spiritually dirty. Thus, they were far from God…and would live like it.
And yet God decided to send a heavenly host of angels to them for the birth announcement of his Son.
As a church leader, do you look for the shepherds? The people far from God, but yet, the ones God speaks to about his Son?
Or do you just keep to the clean?
