Three Men and a Baby

3 minutes / 3 characters

Description
This popular short sketch takes a fun, gently-comedic look at the Bethlehem shepherds. They have just heard the announcement from the angel, and are on their way to find the Christ child. They are befuddled—and just a little argumentative.

This sketch is easy to produce and is perfect for a light-hearted moment in a Christmas cantata or Sunday worship.

When using this to flesh-out a larger production, consider also our scripts The Light (magi), and The Table Inside the Tree (Mary & Joseph).

Characters
Three shepherds of any (but preferably mixed) age.

Set/Props
No set or props are required—although standard shepherd props would be appropriate.

Our four-year study of First Corinthians has now drawn to a close. All 170 sessions, in both text and audio, remain available at the First Corinthians page. More important, we are pleased to offer the complete study in one PDF volume! This makes an excellent resource for any study of the letter. All this is available at our First Corinthians page.

The writer to the Hebrews quotes from a number of important Psalms in his epistle/sermon. We have recently added A Five-psalm Preparatory Study for the Book of Hebrews: Psalms 102, 40, 8, 110, 95 —which supplies an essential preface to the Hebrews study. Even if you are one of the thousands who have already downloaded and used our Hebrews study, this new resource will contribute to your understanding of that book. And if you have not yet downloaded our popular Hebrews study, be sure to obtain this new five-psalm study as well, and work through it before beginning Hebrews.
