As Christmas Day draws near, gifts are placed under the tree and the excitement builds. Children wonder what could be in those brightly decorated packages and what joy will the gift bring to their day. Someone has rightly said the God always wraps His gifts in a person. The most precious gift ever given was the gift of salvation and eternal life, and that gift was delivered by God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Whenever God meets a need in your life it is delivered through another person. God allows us and expects us to be a blessing to others. He wants to use us to show the world what true love looks like. He expects us to share the joy of His presence in our lives with those around us. On a night in Bethlehem, "Joy Has Come", and shepherds declared, "Angels We Have Heard on High". Have a blessed day.
Angels have always played an important role in the relationship between God and mankind. God has used them to deliver important messages throughout history. Upon the birth of Christ God announced the promised Messiah to shepherds in nearby hills. At the first appearance of angels and light, the shepherds were terrified but the Creator, by way of angels, told them, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good tidings of great joy; for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
