"Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."From the beginning of time, angels have served as the messengers of heaven. The word "angel" actually comes from a Latin and Greek word meaning messenger. I love reading these accounts. The angels in heaven knew these select and elect people, most of the time even using their names and reiterating to them how their Father in Heaven feels about them.
The symbol of angels at Christmas time reminds me that Heavenly Father is aware of each of us and there are promises each of us have made with our Father in Heaven which we must be willing and ready to fulfill. It also reminds us of the divine protection offered to those who seek to do the will of our Father in Heaven.
"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."
"And we ask thee, Holy Father, that thy servants may go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them;"
This Christmas, may we join our voices with those angels that first Christmas night in Bethlehem. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
