Suddenly a great company of the Heavenly host appeared with the angel praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest Heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.” Luke 2:13-14
An angel appeared to shepherds who were tending flocks on the plains and hillsides surrounding Bethlehem. It was night time, but God’s glory lit the sky. The news was good. In a world full of dysfunction, oppression and corruption, God sent a means of peace. The sign of this event, a baby, Jesus. Following the angel’s announcement, a choir appeared and began singing the world’s most amazing birthday song.
This host of angels sang praise to the source of our hope and connected Heaven to earth by echoing God’s purpose, a peace that passes all understanding. God, worthy of our praise, has sent His beloved Son from the security of Heaven on a mission, to bring peace to the heart of man.
In a world where religion has become a source of division and all the diversity of God’s creation has become man’s war, remember……that baby is called THE PRINCE OF PEACE. God’s favor is good, it is love and it is something to sing about all year round.
Love,
