The Christmas message was first given to the unseen — shepherds keeping watch over their flock at night. It was they who ran to see Jesus, worshiping the King of kings in a lowly manger. Throughout his time on earth, Jesus saw the unseen. People who had fallen through the cracks of society called out to him and he responded.
