Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Suddenly, the angel was
joined by a vast host of others
—the armies of heaven—praising God:

"Glory to God in the highest
heaven, and peace on earth
to all whom God favors."
Luke 2:13-14 NLT
"

Reflection:

"No doubt life for the average
person wasn't all that noticeably
different on the night Jesus was
born. Inns and taverns were busy
with their customers. Shepherds
gathered around the fire to keep
warm as they watched over their
sheep. But in a secluded corner
of Bethlehem, in an out-of-the-way
stable, a baby slept in a manger.
And as the shepherds settled down
for a quiet night, the angels
assembled into a vast choir and
shattered the silence of that night
by loud praises. Imagine the
shepherds' response: shock, fear,
and then, awe. They knew that
they had to find this extraordinary
child whose birth the angels had
announced.

As you celebrate Christ's birth on
this joyous day, seek out Jesus as
the shepherds did years ago. Use
this heavenly song to rejoice in Jesus' birth.

Prayer:

Glory to you, God, in the
highest heaven and peace on earth
to all whom you favor…

HAVE A BLESSED AND PEACE FILLED
CHRISTMAS. GLORY TO GOD ON
THE HIGHEST.
