There is something about the image of a shepherd out among his flock, with only his dog and the sheep for his companions, that seems picturesque and inviting. You can sense the quiet of the hillside as the sheep quietly graze and the shepherd’s eyes carefully watch over each one in his care. This is not a picture of someone who craves attention or notoriety, but it is someone whom God has chosen to participate in the birth of Christ. Covers Luke 2:8-14.
