On a hill outside of Bethlehem, lowly shepherds were tending their sheep. People had been passing through for days as the census was underway, but they hardly spoke as they walked by on their way to Bethlehem. Nobody really wanted to talk to the shepherds. They may have been at the bottom of the social ladder in Bethlehem, but God chose shepherds to be the first ones to see the Savior! This is their story – what they heard and saw that marvelous night when God came to dwell with men.
