About this listen

The shepherds were social outcasts—rejected and dirty. Yet, God chose to announce the birth of His promised Messiah and Savior to these lowly members of society. In this message, Pastor Wiersbe answers the question: Why was the first announcement of Jesus’ birth given to shepherds?

This message was preached on December 18, 1977, at the Moody Church in Chicago, IL, when Dr. Wiersbe served as the Senior Pastor.

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:1-8
