December 12 – Day 13
Luke 2:13-20
Suddenly just as we were ready to go a multitude of heavenly host appeared all around us praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men…”
We were spellbound and astonished and then they were gone. We talked among ourselves and determined that we should go now to Bethlehem concerning the things that had just passed, that the Lord had made known to us.
We made great haste to see what the Lord had revealed to us. After we found Mary and Joseph we found the baby lying in a manger just as the angel of the Lord had said.
We just couldn’t contain ourselves! We ran all through the city announcing everything that we had seen and heard, that the angel of the Lord had proclaimed to us and the heavenly host praising God.
And all those who heard our message just marveled with amazement; but Mary just kept these things to herself and pondered them.
As for us we went back to our flocks praising the Lord for what He just revealed to us.
What about you? Does this Christmas season stir your heart when you read this amazing message in the Holy Bible for all mankind? Do you ponder in your heart all these things? It is the greatest gift ever given if only you will receive it.
