Christmas Imagine
December 16, 2021
Imagine the night of Jesus birth. As Mary’s labor pangs intensified that night, the reality of their babe’s identity was pushed back as Joseph was required to be her midwife. After he was delivered, did they gaze at him whispering what they had been told? Did they marvel that those words were now wrapped in this tiny bit of flesh they held? Before they could leave for the journey home, shepherds appeared at the door of their cave. Angels sang!
Did they wonder how long before others would know who the babe really was? That question was answered quickly. This group of shepherds described the mighty chorus they heard. They learned of angels visiting them announcing Jesus’ birth. Mary and Joseph heard from the mouths of shepherds, that the babe Jesus was Savior, Christ the Lord.
