Wednesday December 18, 2013 “Proclamation and Accompaniment”

Luke 2:8-14Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.  13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
It was only right that an “Angel of the Lord” proclaimed the coming of “Christ the Lord.”  Good tidings of great joy declared publicly results in others joining us as it was with the heavenly host making known the message to the shepherds.
Pray that Christians in America will proclaim Jesus boldly now during the Christmas season and every day expecting more people to join us in our praise to the Lord.
