Angel Voices: Good News!

Angels were lucky! Well, angels and women. Seriously, we were the first ones to carry the greatest news the earth had ever known. 

I love this extravagant moment:

The angel said to the lowly shepherds: “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:10).

Then the angel says, “Watch for a newborn baby in an animal’s feeding trough.”

Then. Suddenly! (Oh, be on the lookout for your “suddenlys” in this life!)

“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 2:14).

Can you imagine? 

One angel voice was just not enough. I picture that angel running out ahead, thinking: I’ve just gotta be the first, and was suddenly joined by massive numbers of heavenly hosts. An accelerated cacophony of praise that boomed and reverberated on earth.

Make no mistake: These angel voices were used to filling the heavens with praise! These angels had no limit to worship. 

They never toned it down. 

Never put a lid on it. 

Never held back. 

This good news required every massive flapping wing and thundering roaring voice that were never bound by earth’s tethers! 

They brought the best news that had ever pieced the planet: Jesus the Messiah is born!

So much love to you, my dear friend this Christmas.
