Have you ever stepped outside on a snowy winter evening, stood quietly and let the stillness envelope you as the flakes brush your cheeks? Let’s imagine that’s how it was when Jesus was born. Savor that sense of stillness and silence. Lift your face to Him and know you are loved.
That night, the quiet was quickly broken. Suddenly an angel appeared to terrified shepherds and a host of angels filled the sky. What a celebration for a tiny infant!
Verses 5-6 in today’s passage point us, with hope and anticipation, far beyond that helpless infant to Jesus our Savior and King who will come again.
Have you ever wondered what was going on in heaven before Jesus was born? Perhaps it was silent with anticipation, or the angel choir was practicing.
Where can you find silence and stillness as you busily prepare to celebrate the miracle of Jesus’ birth?
How does John’s greeting in Revelation 1:4 lift your eyes beyond Christmas to eternity?
