And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" -- Luke 2:13,14
Thanksgiving has passed, December is here, and BF-Cyber Monday email ads are still pouring in... oh well, anyway it is Christmas time!
A proud father wants to tell of his son. We call it the New Testament. The news of this Papa's coming Son was so great that He told of it for centuries before the birth by way of prophets. We call that the Old Testament. A testament is also a covenant, and the elder could not be kept, while the newer is one we dare not refuse. This Son fulfilled the elder agreement for us, while by the newer agreement He made eternal life with our God possible. The birth of God's Son was such an event that the hosts of heaven made an appearance to rejoice before the shepherds in the fields.
As we begin this Christmas season, remember the joy of God's goodwill and peace,
Bucky
