The promised birth of Jesus is really the most important event in all history—it’s God providing the way for all mankind to be saved from sin and death and to be renewed to be able to live with God in heaven forever! Prophets had spoken God’s promise for thousands of years, and now it was being kept. Around this event we find more angels than anywhere else in the Bible…first Gabriel appearing to Zacharias to promise the birth of John the Baptist, then to Mary to promise the birth of Jesus. Then we find an angel appearing to Joseph, then to the shepherds (along with a “multitude of the heavenly host” ). I envision a whole sky full of hundreds and hundreds of angels, as far as you could see.
This Sunday we’ll focus in on the appearance of Archangel Gabriel to Mary and another (unnamed) angel to Joseph, giving them a very personal and intimate picture of the coming birth. Join us as we celebrate Jesus’ birth!
This is a great time of the year to invite a friend.
Tom and Sydney Cook
