114 – Is it possible for the angels appear to us as they did to the shepherds when Jesus was born?

Yes it is!

Is it possible for us to feel the same sense of wonder and awe they must have felt when the angel appeared to them and told them the long-awaited Christ was here?

Yes it is!

This week's episode talks about how the message of the angel who appeared to the shepherds was a complete surprise. They were just minding their own business, taking care of their sheep when the angel informs them that the Christ has been born.

We have read this story so many times, we have lost the original wonder and surprise these humble shepherds felt when they heard this news. 

Sometimes we get so busy getting ready for Christmas. Then there’s all the last minute, end-of-the-year demands at work or school, or wherever, to finish up certain projects before the New Year. There’s so much we have do, much of it self-imposed. 

In all this flurry of activity, we sometimes don’t take the time to be quiet and simply revel in what Christmas is all about, the birth of Jesus, God’s gift of Truth to all mankind. 

And when the angels appear to us, do we hear what they say, or are we so caught up in the busyness of celebrating the Christmas holidays, that we don’t have the time, the inclination, or the receptivity to hear what the angels are saying to us about the appearance of Christ today?

I encourage you this Christmas to take some time to be quiet with God, to listen for what the Christmas angels are saying to you, and to feel the original awe and wonder the shepherds felt when they heard the news that Christ was born.
