Luke 4: 13,14- “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
Instead of writing a “Christmas-themed” post for the week of Christmas, I am going to celebrate all month long!
Praising God and thanking Him on a daily basis actually means continually celebrating His goodness to us. (And He is greatly to be praised, isn’t He?)
Luke says the angels praised God at the birth of Jesus. They knew what a special event it was. They understood what His presence would mean for all mankind.
I can only imagine what it was like to look into the sky that night and see it filled with angels… hear their trumpets and their hear their beautiful voices.
Emanuel. God with us.
God come to earth in bodily form.
A gift to sinners.
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.
Truly, a blessed event!
