This Christmas episode focuses on “the messengers” of God. The prophets that foretold of the coming Messiah were messengers. The Angels that visited Mary and Joseph were messengers. Jesus himself was God’s perfect messenger. His apostles and disciples were messengers. The authors of the gospels and New Testament letters were messengers. His Holy Spirit is a messenger. And even now, WE are messengers.
Who are you inviting to come and see the King of Kings and Lord of Lords? Born as a humble man, crucified as a criminal, but raised to reveal his glory–a name that is above every name–Jesus Christ, Immanuel.
