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
