3 Gifts from Luke 2

1. Just as the prophets foretold, He came. A babe, born of a virgin, in an unknown town, wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in a manger. 

2.  Glory to God . . . good tidings . . . great JOY . . . PEACE and GOOD WILL to those with whom God is pleased." To think that the first thing God chose to have the angels announce to those who think we don't need Him was JOY and PEACE is astounding. Absolutely astounding.

3. Angels pronouncements, shepherds seeking, seeing, believing and telling of the King who had come, Simeon and Anna waiting and longing and beholding their Messiah. The Father always reveals Himself and desires to make Himself known to his creation. 

It's true: Jesus came into the world for you! And it's really true: you came into the world for Him--to let everyone know about Him. Advent, Ann Voskamp
