And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host…\u2014Luke 2:13<\/em><\/p>\n

Surely one of the most vivid and beloved passages in the Bible is the one where the heavens themselves seemed to explode with joy on the night when Christ was born. Mary and Joseph had come from Galilee to Bethlehem to be taxed. \u201cAnd there were in the same country,\u201d St. Luke says, \u201cshepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night\u201d (Luke 2:8).<\/p>\n

If we had been with those simple folk, sitting around their campfire, staring into the blue-black vault of midnight, what would we have seen and heard? We were indeed there in those same fields one Christmas Eve. We asked that He be reborn in us.<\/p>\n

First, there must have been a radiant burst of light as \u201cthe angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them\u201d (Luke 2:9). Understandably, they were terror-stricken, but once again the angel spoke his reassuring words: \u201cFear not.\u201d Then he gave them the \u201cgood tidings of great joy\u201d that have been at the heart of Christmas ever since. And suddenly, St. Luke tells us, \u201cThere was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God\u201d (Luke 2:13).<\/p>\n

What a stupendous and spectacular sight that must have been! According to tradition and studies based on Scripture, there is a whole hierarchy of angels, their rank determined by their closeness to God\u2019s throne. The nine orders are seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels and angels. If all these shining creatures were in the heavenly host that the shepherds saw, no wonder they were spellbound.<\/p>\n

But the shepherds weren\u2019t content merely to be told about the Savior\u2019s birth. They wanted to experience Him for themselves, and that is what they did, coming \u201cwith haste\u201d to the manger where the baby lay (Luke 2:16).<\/p>\n

Is there a message for all of us here? I think there is, and it is this: Don\u2019t be satisfied merely to hear about Jesus. Arise and seek Him yourself. Go in search of Him \u201cwith haste\u201d until you stand in His Presence, and then when you have found Him, tell others about your discovery, just as the shepherds did.<\/p>\n

Heavenly Father, at this holy time, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, and the message of love that He brought to the world.<\/em><\/p>\n
