Angels

play a big part in the Christmas story.

They reassure Abraham (Jesus’ great, great, great, great, great, grandfather) in the old testament that he will have many descendants.

They tell Zechariah he will have a son – John the Baptist – even when he and Elizabeth are old.

They let Mary know she has been chosen to be Jesus’s Mummy.

They reassure Joseph that he is doing the right thing, looking after Mary.

They let the Shepherds know about the birth

The angel said “Do not be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David’s town, Your Saviour was born – Christ the Lord!”

Angels are God’s messengers and help ensure his big act of Love goes to plan. God still uses Angels and people to be messengers. Bringing messages of Joy and Love into the world. As you listen to the music, reflect on how you can bring Joy into the world.
