The shepherds who came to worship the Christ child have been revered and honored by Christians for centuries. However, at the time of Christ, people saw shepherds in a far less positive light.

Only [the wise men] kneeled before the young child, Jesus. They had a star within that enabled them to see the star without. They saw it with the eyes of faith, and it brought them to Jesus.

Faithful shepherds will always be found at their posts, with Jesus at the center of their lives and hearts because they know and love Him.
