The Unexpected Christmas: Shepherds

Unexpected--that's what I'd say about the choice of heaven to announce first to shepherds that Jesus had come.

Unexpected--Jesus' birth, in contrast to the emperor of the time--Caesar Augustus--is the true Savior, the true God.

Unexpected--while those with the wealth and the power in Rome may be initially said that "a new order for the ages" had come with Caesar Augustus, but the new order has come with the birth of Jesus who was born in a nowhere town and laid in a manger.
