Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Luke 2:8
Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem because they were of the lineage of David. The shepherds were in the field keeping watch over their flock. About a thousand years ago in time from that night in Bethlehem, David was in the field keeping watch over the flock when Samuel arrived to anoint the new king of Israel. Jesus, the child born that night in Bethlehem is the Good Shepherd. If I sat down to write a book and made up stuff like this, it would be dismissed as too far-fetched for even a suspension of disbelief. And yet the question marches before you, will you believe in the Son of God?
Rejoice, for unto us a Child is born!
