Les Bergers sont Les
Premiers
Of all the characters involved in the Christmas story,
I’m especially drawn to the shepherds. They were the lowest of the low –
uneducated, poor, valued not much higher than the animals they tended. Yet it
was these shepherds who heard the angels sing. It was the shepherds who were
the first to come to the manger to worship the new-born king. The Christmas
story is a message of hope – brought to those who needed it the most.
With the shepherds we can go to the Bethlehem manger in
our imaginations. We can ask that the Jesus born in Judaea be born again in our
hearts today. The story of that first Christmas has shaped the lives of
millions, and it can still change our lives too. It can be for us a message of
true hope, as it was for those shepherds.
Whatever our circumstances, may the good news of the
birth of Jesus give us reason for praise and a sense of the glory of God today
and throughout this Christmas time.

Les bergers étaient les premiers visiteurs à la crèche pour adorer le Roi nouveau-né. L'histoire de
Noël est un
message d'espoir - porté à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin.
