What would it be like to be in the time when Jesus was born? That's what I thought right when I finished the line nativity tour. Imagine being rushed along by a Roman soldier. Trying to find an inn before they all filled up. Or being a market owner, trying to get all the orders done, and trying to take a break, only for the people to come back for more food. Imagine having to make that food that people had to eat everyday. Or being a blacksmith who had to forge weapons that the Romans used against your own people. What about being a shepherd and the angels appeared to you in that field, imagine the terror, the wonder. "Glory to God in the highest!" Today, we're going to a shepherd, sitting in the cool grass, with his friends as they watch over their flock on the night Christ was born.
