If I Were There When Jesus Was Born . . . .

I would be a shepherd because I like animals and I would always try to find them if they got lost.  If I were a shepherd, I would be afraid when the angels came to me, but I would obey them and look for Jesus.

When I found him, I would thank God for fulfilling His promise and run to everyone. I saw, saying, “He is born!  The Messiah has come!  He was born in the stable in a manger!”

Then I would go back to tending my sheep and think about Jesus all night long. wondering what was going to happen and if I would ever see Jesus again.  I would wonder if his parents. had left Bethlehem yet or if they would.
