And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-12
The above passage is one that is well-known and oft-read. An angel proclaiming the birth of Christ to shepherds in the fields around Bethlehem. A baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.
Who were these shepherds and why was this “sign” given to them? Was the sign simply a way for them to identify the Christ-child from other babies in Bethlehem? Or was there much deeper meaning to a baby being wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manager that pointed to the real identity of Jesus?
Dr. Don Bierle, president of Faith Search International, will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to explain what the shepherds were really hearing from the angel.
