Day Ten: The Angels
During the very first Christmas, angels kept appearing out of nowhere. The angel Gabriel, appeared to Mary proclaiming the good news that she would be the mother of the Messiah. Another angel appeared to Joseph, telling him that they shall name the Messiah, Jesus. Then, the night of Jesus’ birth, an entire army of angels delivered the announcement of Jesus’ birth to shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem. Angels were messengers from God. They came to announce important news to others.
Read Exodus 23:20.
20 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
Jesus is the most special gift that we can give or receive this Christmas. That’s why we are called to share Jesus with others.
Read Mark 16:15.
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Read Matthew 28:18-20.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Takeaway: Who can you invite to Christmas services so that you can share the hope of Jesus with them?
