NARRATOR 1:
(begin
without music)
The announcement regarding the Messiah's arrival went first to some shepherds.
They didn't ask God if He was sure He knew what He was doing.
Had the angel gone to theologians,
they would have first consulted their commentaries.
Had He gone to the elite,
they would have looked around to see if anyone was watching.
Had He gone to the successful,
they would have first looked at their calendars...(begin music)
So He went to the shepherds;
men who didn't have a reputation to protect,
or an ax to grind,
or a ladder to climb;
men who didn't know enough to tell God that angels don't sing to sheep,
and that messiahs aren't found wrapped in rags,
and sleeping in a feeding trough.
So at the birth of Jesus,
while the theologians were sleeping,
and the elite were dreaming,
and the successful were snoring,
the meek were kneeling;
they were kneeling before the One only the meek will see.
They were kneeling in front of Jesus.
