At that time, shepherds were reviled by the religious because shepherds broke the Sabbath, nevermind the necessity of doing so since animal predators and theives never take a day off. I it appears the religious had also forgotten their roots, that Moses and King David had been shepherds before being chosen for their great commissions, nevermind the Patriarchs! (I guess "cherry-picking" the scriptures has been going on for a very long time.) Jesus always identified himself as being a shepherd too, the Shepherd of humanity. God Almighty identified himself with and loved the humblest of people........and HE still does!<br /><br />Peace................crownringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091550580924650465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-48826362685040460842012-12-24T08:15:39.930-06:002012-12-24T08:15:39.930-06:00Upside down is a great way to describe it Scott!Upside down is a great way to describe it Scott!kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-37454297106660503312012-12-23T21:48:04.872-06:002012-12-23T21:48:04.872-06:00God does things upside down from the way we look a...God does things upside down from the way we look at things.
