The most loved of God, was David, another descendant of Adam and Eve, whom God chose as a mere shepherd boy to become King of all Israel. David loved God greatly and wrote and sang many songs of praise for the Lord. With his simple childhood and understanding of a shepherd’s ways to care, defend, and if necessary, give his life for the flock, David understood the meaning of shepherd. He knew God held that special position when he wrote:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1
Jesus would claim to be that Good Shepherd, willing to lay down his life for anyone who wants to believe, and be part of his flock.

In the same region at the time of the birth of Jesus, some shepherds were tending their flocks of sheep during the night. When an Angel of the Lord appeared before them, the shepherds were very afraid.
And the angel said unto them, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.”
St. Luke 2:10,11
The angel said the child would be wrapped in cloths, and be found laying in a manger. Other angels then joined the first angel and they all sang praises to God. Then they ascended back to heaven. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Jesus, and told everyone what the angels had said. The shepherds then left giving praise and glory to God. So began the blessing given to Abraham unto all the Nations.
