Central Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Virginia

As you set up your nativity scene this year. There is of course Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus. Then, looking on are those nice shepherds dressed in robes with staffs in hand. We’re familiar with the Christmas story; we like them in the scene. However, if we were living in first century Bethlehem, we wouldn’t have wanted them there – not at all. Join us this Sunday as we discuss the shepherds and how their inclusion in the Christmas scene reminds us that the good news of Jesus is for all people.
