I have been thinking about the angels shouting “Glory to God in the Highest.” I think they were overjoyed and excited about God’s gift to man. They had been seeing God’s plan unfold for centuries. Often, they saw misery and pain also unfolding. But Jesus coming to earth was the beginning of the end to this sin and misery. Sure, this was a step toward the cross for Jesus, but for man, it was a big step for salvation and liberty for man! Without the birth of Jesus, man was stuck trying to accomplish righteousness on his own, and it is always impossible. God knew that, and out of love for us, poured glorious grace on us and sent Jesus. So, step up and partake of that salvation all slathered in love and grace. Oh, and did I mention it is free for the taking. What are you waiting for?
