"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night." Luke 2:8
The first people who received the invitation to come see the new baby that was born in a manger were shepherds. Think about it, the shepherds were invited to come and see the "Good Shepherd". The next group were the wise men- we refer to them as the kings. They followed the star and these kings laid eyes upon the King of kings.
This was no ordinary baby. He is infinitely more than we can comprehend. He is the Good Shepherd, the King of kings, Lord of lords, Healer, Savior, Deliverer, Redeemer, Provider, Creator, Ruler of the Universe, with a name that is above every name. He is God.
When He came, He did not just come for one group of people, but for all men. He came for the shepherds and the kings. He came for the rich and the poor. He came for the downcast, outcast and the well to do.
Whoever you are this morning, you can come to Him. He invites you to come to Him today. He will receive you just as the shepherds and kings were received when they came to where He was. Whatever you need, He is it. He is El Shaddai- the All Sufficient one.
Have a great day. The invitation is still given to come to where this indescribable God is no matter who you are.
