Good News for Ordinary People | Video Devotional | Christmas 2025
Key phrase:
"There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them..."
Devotional:
On this Christmas morning, notice who God chose to hear the news first: not kings, not priests, not scholars or the powerful elite—but shepherds. Blue-collar workers on the night shift, smelling like sheep, were considered unclean and unimportant by religious society. They weren't in the temple; they were in the fields. They weren't praying; they were working. And that's exactly where the angels found them. This is the scandal of the gospel: God doesn't show up first at the palace or the religious headquarters. He comes to the ordinary, the overlooked, the everyday people just trying to get through their shift. The good news isn't for those who have it all together—it's for all of us who are just showing up, doing our jobs, living our regular lives. Jesus came for the shepherds. Jesus came for you.
Reflection:
Where do you feel ordinary, overlooked, or "less than" in your life? How does it change things to know that God announced the greatest moment in history to people just like you—ordinary folks doing ordinary work?
Prayer Prompt:
Thank God that the good news of Jesus isn't reserved for the elite, the educated, or the put-together. Thank Him that He sees you, values you, and comes to you right where you are—in the middle of your everyday, ordinary life. Ask Him to help you believe that His message is truly for you.
