Shepherds were historically seen as low-class. So it’s a little surprising that a group of lowly shepherds received the angelic announcement of the birth of Christ––not government leaders, royalty, or celebrities of that time! Pastor Mike Fabarez explains that God is looking for obedient people who will respond to him “in haste,” just like those shepherds.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
