"You see, people thought shepherds were nobodies, just scruffy old riff-raff. But God must have thought shepherds were very important indeed, because they were the ones he chose to tell the good news to first... at last, they reached a tumbledown stable. They caught their breath. Then quietly, they tiptoed inside. They knelt on the dirt floor. They had heard about this promised child and now he was here. Heaven's Son. The Maker of Stars. A baby sleeping in his mother's arms. This baby would be like that bright star shining in the sky that night. A Light to light up the whole world. Chasing away darkness. Helping people to see. And the darker the night got, the brighter the star would shine... this child was a new kind of king. thought he was the Prince of Heaven, he had become poor. Thought he was the Mighty God, he had become a helpless baby. This King hadn't come to be the boss. He had come to be a servant."
