Could it be that the only reason the shepherds and wise men are included in the nativity story is to give kids the opportunity to wear some really cool costumes at the annual nativity play?
Why does the Bible mention the shepherds and wise guys? Are they only there to add colour to the story?
My regular Wednesday morning guest on 98.5 Sonshine FM is Ross Clifford is the Principal of Morling College in New South Wales and current President of the Baptist Union of Australia. Each week we chat about a range of issues relating to spirituality and belief.
Yesterday we talked about why the gospel writers felt the visit of the wise men and shepherds was important enough to include in the story of the birth of Jesus.
