Unhappy Holiday at Christmas. Revelation 12:1-6 The Angels announce the Good News. Luke 1.
Angels announce the miracle of Christmas.
Lucas 1:31 ASD Magbubuntis ka at mangangak ng isang lalaki, at pangangalanan mo siyang Jesus. Lucas 1:35 ASD Sumagot ang angel; “Sasaiyo ang Banal na Espiritu at lililiman ka ng kapangyarihan ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Kaya ang banal na sanggol na ipanganganak mo ay tatawaging Anak ng Diyos.” The angel entered with words of rejoicing, a message of how she had found favor or grace near God, and the good news of Christ’s birth. Lucas 1:29 ASD Nabagabag si Maria sa sinabi ng angel. Inisip niyang Mabuti kung anong ibig sabihin noon. Lucas 1:38 ASD Alipin po ako ng Panginoon, mangyari nawa sa akin ang mga sinabi n’yo. Angels announce the mystery of Christmas. Luke 1:34 How can this be? “Our brain are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe” -John Updike. To appreciate Christmas, to humble ourselves in its glory, simplicity and humility we must revere (worship) Christ and stand in awe in spite of the mystery. Angels state the Majesty of Christmas. Splendor Glory Radiance Grandeur Marvellousness Beauty Etc… Lucas 1:36 ASD Maging ang kamag-anak mong si Elizabet ay buntis din sa kabila ng kanyang katandaan. Alam ng lahat na baog siya, pero anim na buwan na syang buntis ngayon. When we lose our sense of the miracle and mystery of Christmas, we’re bound to lose a sense that God can do anything. Christmas teaches us anything it is that all things are possible with God. The Christ of Christmas invites us to place our faith in Him and watch him produce within us a spirit of Hope. This is more than positive thinking. It is more than a good attitude. It is more than feeling on a sunny day. It is hope rooted in Christ birth, death, burial, resurrection and life that secures our present through the salvation of the cross and guarantees our future because we believe in Him. The Angels announce the Good News. -end Pagbabalita
