“[The Shepherds and the Angels] And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”- Luke 2:8-11

As you hear this verse doesn't your mind immediately picture that scene from Charlie Brown's Christmas special. Linus standing in the middle of the stage with his blankie and reciting this story so eloquently. It makes me smile inside and out because I know it is more than a story. Christ's birth is not just a once a year thing. It is not about Santa Claus or decorations or carolers, but about a promise fulfilled. A father's great love for his people that reached down from the heavens. As it says in a song, ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you. There was nothing that could stop Christ from coming. God promised a Savior, the Messiah, and he delivered. Everyday we can know of Christ's birth. Everyday we can be filled with the joy and grace He bestows. Every single day not just on Christmas day. There is lies the true meaning of Christmas, and really, the meaning of life. Christ is the eerlasting Lord. O praise him!
