We are continuing our series "The Promise," and we are looking at the promise of Peace. In Isaiah 9, the people are promised a Messiah that would bring about a period of peace for all people. And Luke picks up this idea in his Birth Narrative.
The very first people that the birth is announced to, outside of Mary, Joseph, and Elizabeth, are shepherds.
