I bring you the Christmas story in a small excerpt from Luke’s gospel, with an addition of one of my favorite Christmas songs….
O come all ye faithful; joyful and triumphant.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
O come ye; o come ye to Bethlehem.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Come and behold him; born the king of angels.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:8-12)
O come, let us adore him.
O come, let us adore him.
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
**O come, let us adore him. This day. May the good news of Christmas fill you with great joy in your here and now places.
