The Gospel According to Gabriel: The Appearance to the Shepherds

Rev. Dr. Jacob Buchholz

"The angels' final appearance in the Nativity story is to a group of shepherds watching their flocks at night. But it's an interesting choice since shepherds were not even allowed to give eyewitness testimony in a court of law. Why would God choose them to be among the first to share the Good News of Christ's birth?
