On the night Jesus was born, an angel appeared to announce the Savior's birth to a group of shepherds who were out tending their livestock near the city of Bethlehem. There were many shepherds in Israel at that time, so exactly why did God choose to make such a heavenly announcement to this particular group of shepherds and not another group of shepherds? Was there something special about these shepherds — some reason the angel appeared to them and not to other shepherds? Was this just a random appearance, or was there a reason why that certain group received this historical announcement?
