The shepherds were the first to receive the news of My birth. They were also watching for births. It was the season for lambs to be born. That night they would see Me, the lamb of God, just after My birth.
The Angel of the LORD told them that I would be wrapped in swaddling clothes. The shepherds had spent most of the night wrapping new born lambs in swaddling clothes.
They were the first to lay eyes on Me as a baby. They did not fully understand Who I was and why I had been born, but they would soon learn that I came to die so that they could one day have Me birthed in their hearts.
LUKE 2:8-14
