We’re starting our “Christmas Outtakes” series looking at an older married couple named Elizabeth and Zechariah. He is a priest, and her family tree traces her lineage back to the very first priest, Aaron. But beneath the surface they are a couple without children, and maybe their faith isn’t as strong as it might seem. Join us today as we explore their real story and what it says to us today.

The shepherds’ role in the Christmas story is often depicted as an endearing picture, but was it as simple as it often seems? Was it just the announcement by the angel of the good news of Jesus’ birth and their trip to see this miracle? Or is it possible that they saw even more? Did their role as shepherds prepare them to see things that night that eluded others for decades? This morning we’ll dig deeper and see how the Good News may have been clearer to them than to most.
