The Majesty and Glory of the Christmas Story speaks with clarity about the power and purpose of God.
The fact that God stepped out of eternity into time is mind-boggling.
The shepherds, lowly and undeserving, received the announcement first anyway.
The angels were amazed that the Creator was born in the image of the creature.
The pagan wise men traveled far and came to know Jesus.
The manger reminds us that Jesus laid aside certain attributes of His deity that He might become a man and die for sinners.
As the angels proclaim the true glory of Christmas, It will always be about the Baby born in Bethlehem.
Luke 2:11,13-14 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. . . . . [13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ [14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
‘Silent night, holy night — All is calm, all is bright — Round yon Virgin Mother and Child — Holy Infant so tender and mild — Sleep in heavenly peace — Sleep in heavenly peace.”
Franz Grubber
