The Good Shepherd’s coming was told to humble shepherds on Bethlehem’s hills, The glory reached the shepherds while they were busy watching their {flocks. These humble men were at I‘Lheir humble duty when the heavens shone in glory, and the air thrilled iwith magnificent music. It was to |the shepherds who were at their posts and who were toiling faith- fully at their appointed work that God revealed the birth of Jesus Christ. Could there be any better Christmas message than that? It is the shepherds at their posts who see angels. The manger proves that the music is true. “This shall be a sign unto you, ye shall find the babe lying in a manger.” We may put our visions to proof. No vision of love, if truly from Geod, will pass away and leave 4 us to our night. The angels departed, but Jesus the Christ remained. Though the glories of life fade, Christ Jesus still remains. Better than the song of any angels is his fellowship. RSN v By PASTOR H. L.
