The Best Christmas Song I've Ever Heard. It Will Give You
Chills
“And an angel of the Lord
appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him,
and fear gripped him. But the angel said
to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and
your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.’”
Luke 1:11-12
“Now in the sixth month the
angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a
virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and
the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming
in, he said to her, ‘Hail, favoured one!
The Lord is with you.’” Luke 1:26-28
“And Joseph her husband, being
a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her desired to put her away
secretly. But when he had considered
this behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, ‘
"Joseph,
son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has
been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bear a Son; and you shall call
His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins.’”
Matthew 1:19-21
The four Gospels share the role
of many angels in the way God unfolded His Salvation for the sins of men. Have you considered the angels who were sent
to share the Good News of the birth of God’s Son to the unsuspecting
world?
I wonder what they thought as
they were sent out. I wonder if they
wondered at those they were sent to and the messages they were entrusted
with. I wonder if they knew what the
future was to hold for Jesus.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS and UPDATES
