Begin at the manger, but follow Jesus through his life
Do you ever wonder what became of the shepherds?
They experienced history's penultimate “Do you remember where you were when … ?” moments. (You know about lesser memorable moments: Where were you when you heard World War II was over? Where were you when you learned President Kennedy had been assassinated? When Elvis died? When the space shuttle disintegrated over Texas?)
Even 2,000 years later, we know where those Hebrew shepherds were when they received the second-best news of eternity: “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”
