The angels announce to the shepherds that Messiah Jesus was born. The shepherds are the least likely to get an invitation to see a King. Seen as dishonest people working a despised occupation. Yet the sign was that the king would be covered in straw in a manger. They were covered in grass and straw as well! This is the sign that we all belong. This is the Good News of Great Joy for All People. We already belong, and we don’t have to hustle for our worth.
