The day of Jesus’ birth was almost here! Everyone was very excited and Gabriel was waiting for God to let him tell the shepherds the news. Trying to hold his excitement, he paced until Jesus was born and the angels were dancing with joy! Then Gabriel knew what to do. He went to the city of Bethlehem. As much as he wanted to go to the place where his God was born, he still had his job to perform. He appeared to the shepherds near the city.
They were VERY afraid! The never saw an angel before, but they knew they existed. He smiled and said to them, “Fear not! For behold! I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you, you shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And then Gabriel was joined by a crowd of angels praising God.
Amen and amen, God bless you and Merry Christmas
