Ted asks about the shepherds who received the heavenly announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. Rod reads from Ezekiel 34 and talks about the shepherd's vocation, and with regard to any fear Christians have that Jesus' work isn't sufficient to save, what God does for us and says to us about how it is He Who saves.
