What does the Bible say about the announcement of Christ's birth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Christ's birth was announced to shepherds, reflecting God's choice to reveal His glory to the humble and lowly.

The announcement of Christ’s birth, as recorded in Luke 2:8-20, was given specifically to shepherds rather than the elite or powerful of society. This choice underscores a significant theological truth: God often reveals His grace to the humble and the marginalized. In doing so, He demonstrates that the kingdom of God is accessible to all, regardless of social status. The angel proclaimed, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people,' showing that the birth of Christ is a universal message of hope and salvation.
