Everybody

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
Luke 2:8

Today we talked about the shepherds that the angels visited, and discussed why God chose to tell the rich (kings from afar) and the poor (shepherds) about the coming Savior.

Two men in our weekly Children’s Church comic felt left out and thought, “God should have told us about the Messiah, for we are important,” and I immediately thought “but, God loves everyone, big and small, young and old, sick and healthy, everybody and everyone belongs in Christ!”

I enjoy puzzle games where the question is “which (blank) does not belong here?”
If this puzzle was asked about human beings, God’s children…there would be no answer.
