The role of shepherds is prominently featured in Scriptures, particularly in the story of the birth of Jesus. Shepherds are the first to receive the news of the Savior’s birth, underscoring the idea that God’s love extends to those on the margins of society. The shepherds, often considered lowly in the social hierarchy of the time, become witnesses to a divine event, highlighting the nature of God’s love. This image illustrates the idea that God’s love extends to all, that it is inclusive of all since we are ALL created in His image and captures the universal message of hope and unity, resonating with the diversity and shared humanity of the global community.
