DID THE ANGELS SING?

Luke 2:13, 14

Presented by

Pastor Justi Greee

De!e"#er 22, 2$13

One author writes, Throughout history, people have continually

looked for deliverers, majestic leaders they could hail as great

saviors from all their troubles. It was no different at the time just prior

to Jesus birth. The !omans hoped for some kind of world savior,

and archaeological evidence shows that they actually gave

"aesar #ugustus the title $avior of the %orld.& 'ut while "aesar

#ugustus was in !ome feeling the pride and prestige of that status,

the true $avior of the world was born in obscurity in 'ethlehem of

Judea.

Jesus "hrist was born in a small, little(known town, and at first

no one knew about it. )one of the residents of 'ethlehem or its

many visitors knew. The officials in !ome and the inhabitants of

Jerusalem had no idea what had occurred. *or anyone who was

near enough to hear it, Jesus infant cry was just the cry of another

baby. The event was so far from center stage that no earthlyauthority was even aware enough to make a community

announcement. +owever, ary and Joseph knew that an

e-traordinary, unprecedented birth had transpired, and others

would soon realie it as well.

#ll heaven broke loose when angels appeared and started

praising /od to a small and most unlikely audience. $ome

anonymous shepherds were about to hear news of one of the

greatest events in the saga of /ods eternal plan0&1
