Listen "Aramaic Shepherds and the Birth of Christ"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast episode explores the significance of Aramaic shepherds in the context of the nativity story, examining their cultural, linguistic, and theological roles. It highlights how their everyday language, Aramaic, and their profession as shepherds resonated with existing biblical imagery of God as shepherd and messianic expectations. Their humble social standing underscores the Gospel's message of divine favor towards the marginalized. The shepherds' witnessing of Jesus' birth and subsequent proclamation of the good news further emphasizes their vital role in the narrative of redemption. Their story connects the Old and New Testaments through shared pastoral imagery and theological themes. For Free weekly teachings check our website www.twinstours.com/webinars
