Merry Christmas!!

"And there were in the same country shepherds staying in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. An lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were very afraid.
And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord..." (Luke 2:8-11)



"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.'"


Did you know that Heavenly Host means Army? God sent his army to earth to announce the birth of His Son! Why an army? Seems a little intimidating! No wonder the shepherds were frightened!!   I believe God the Father was calling for a peace treaty between Himself and man.  The terms?  "Peace on Earth. Good will toward men"
 
God is saying He will call off the army of heaven, and will have peace and good will toward men, because of His Son who will reconcile all things back to Him has been born! 
 
We are still living under the terms of that peace treaty right now. Accept the terms, Accept the Son and live in peace with God!
 
Merry Christmas to all my blog followers, dear friends, and readers!

    "Morning, MaryLu ... and to 'all' of the blog-followers" !
    Thanks for sharing this great truth ... the reason for our hope ! Praise God, for His unspeakable gift ... Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour !
    A very Merry and Blessed Christmas wished to one and all ... as we celebrate the birth of our King !
    I cannot even begin to imagine how frightened the shepherds must have been that glorious night ! To see a 'multitude of the heavenly host praising God' ... what a divine revelation to them !
    As we celebrate today ... let us put aside all earthly problems, troubles and woes ... and 'remember, the reason for the season' !!!
    Oh, to 'live in peace', here and now ... thank-you, dear Lord !!!
    Thanks for sharing, MaryLu.
    Merry Christmas, and God Bless.
    In Him, Brenda Hurley

  6. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! I love what you had to say about this portion of Scripture, and I will remember that now every time I read it! I am so grateful as I remember this Christmas how Jesus did everything He said He would do, and that He is exactly who He said He is...The Son of God, The Messiah, who has made it possible for each person to be made right with God. I'm so thankful for His salvation, His forgiveness, His protection and guidance, and the list goes on and on! Praise God!
