Though his method-acting may annoy the other cast members at times, Dan reminds us all that God gave the lowest in the land the highest honor, to share the message of the birth of the Savior. This video is part of the mockumentary-style series, “The Glory of Christmas.”

This video is from “Holy Night,” the Christmas episode from the TV series, The Chosen, a series about the life of Jesus. You’re about to be introduced to the ‘shepherds of Christmas.’ And you’re about to be introduced to one shepherd in particular. We're not told much at all about the background of the shepherds of Christmas. This video illustration is an imaged scene. But, the creators of The Chosen did their homework. Because we do know it was hard out there for a shepherd at the time of Jesus. “That night, in a field near Bethlehem, shepherds were watching over their flocks.” (Luke 2:8, TPT) “When the choir of angels disappeared and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go! Let’s hurry and find this Word who is born in Bethlehem and see for ourselves what the Lord has revealed to us.’” (Luke 2:15, TPT) “The shepherds returned to their flock, ecstatic over what had happened. They praised God and glorified him for all they had heard and seen for themselves, just like the angel had said.” (Luke 2:20, TPT)

You’ve probably seen a painting of a shepherd with a herd of sheep. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, but have you ever tried herding sheep? It’s anything but peaceful! They’re not too bright and they’re stubborn. Sounds a lot like humans, doesn’t it? But thankfully, God sent us a Good Shepherd.
