At the end of the day, the best way to summarize Christmas and the incarnation of Jesus is… glory. The angels came to the shepherds in Luke 2:9 with the glory of the Lord shinning all around them. The heavenly hosts in v. 14 praised God saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those whom he is pleased.” And the response of the shepherds was glorifying and praising God in v. 20. Glory is everywhere!
As we gather this Sunday for the 4th and final Sunday of Advent we will live in the glory of God. We will experience together the joy of Christmas in worship singing, hearing the Christmas story, learning from God’s Word about incarnation glory, and having joyful fellowship together. Invite people. Come with anticipation. May we worship in hope, truth, love, and peace as we approach Christmas!
