This is a look at the role the Shepherds played in the mystical interpretation of Christmas. It is based on a song I wrote called Love is the Answer, which I go into in my new book. The Christmas Gift. There are deeper meanings in all aspects of the Christmas story. It all comes down to Love.Love is the Answer.

On love is the answer.

We get down to the heart of the matter.

I'm Cindy Palos,

Continuing with the Love Conquers All and the gift of Christmas with a particularly deep part of the message that comes on the Love Conquers All,

Which is when the shepherds,

When the shepherds are out in the story tending their sheep,

We look at the stars as the shepherds did.

And the shepherds were out there under the stars,

So of course they looked at the stars and what did they see?

They saw a star of wonder.

But let's get down to the one shepherd who is actually the one seeing the star at this point.

It's an amazing moment when a humble shepherd sees the star of wonder and he is transfixed as are the Magi,

The angels,

And all who see the star of wonder.

And in this case the shepherd represents the innocence and the dedication of a young person who's taking up the challenge of watching over the sheep,

Taking his time and energy protecting them,

So they won't be attacked by the wolfs in the danger of winter and all the challenges that happen in the darkest of nights.

Of course we can't forget the meaning of the shepherd because we know that the good shepherd was a name for Jesus Christ.

The shepherd who watched over all of his children watched over all of his flocks,

His beautiful flocks that he loved.

So the shepherd represents those who serve humanity,

The servants.

The servants that dedicate themselves to serve with love.

And there's a love that inspires them to do their job in a way that's dedicating their entire life to helping.

The shepherd is the holy image of knowing someone is there caring and watching out for humanity.

The shepherd represents the fact that there's an innocence and a young person that can carry that gift,

That power of belief and love.

When they see the miracle and the wonder of that star of wonder that brings the hope,

The hope we all need of that light coming to earth as heaven comes to earth with the birth of the Christ.

It's a moment of magic,

It's a moment of wonder,

It's a moment that is captured.

When we understand that love is really the answer that we all seek,

That that love holds the key.

And that's what is sung on the song Love is the Answer.

Love holds the answer.

Love sets us free because love is the answer.

Healing our hearts.

It shines like a bright star.

Love is our gift.

Love is the answer.

You're not alone.

Hide from the Spirit.

Guide us from evil.

Inside and above holds the answer.

Fear nothing now.

Love is the answer.

Giving what's good because love holds the answer.

Be not afraid.

Love is the answer.

Love is our prayer.

Love is the answer.

Love is the answer.
