While I was in church Saturday night, it occurred to me, Jesus began his ministry to those on society’s fringe at his Birth, at the Nativity.
Who were the first outside the Holy Family notified of this baby, this new King?
Shepherds – those whose job was THE last anyone would want, who were, to put it nicely, not well accepted into regular society.
In the stable where He was born, shepherds were the first to attend to Him, to see hope incarnate and they went home praising God.
God the Father brought the fringe, the outcast of upright Jewish religious society, as the first to view Jesus the Christ, the Son of God.
Who sits in the honored pew at your church stable?
