"Don't be afraid! I'm bringing you good news! Great joy! For everybody," Luke 2:10.
Middle of the night, out on the grassy meadows, keeping an eye on the sheep. Shepherds doing their thing. Out of nowhere: A blast of light blazes everywhere. They see an unearthly creature through the brilliance. They're scared to death! (You might have noticed, angels often look pretty scary.) Good news? What good news? A baby is born. That's the news? O, Yes, yes, yes! God at work! God doing something about the mess we're in! God fixing things! A savior is born, this day, Christ, the Lord! In David's town! God keeping promises made to father Abraham and Sarah 2,000 years before! And to King David, 1,000 years earlier. Joy! Very, very happy!
With a brother or sister today, we say Praise God! Praise God! And, together, we give thanks that we get to be part of the fix.
