The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Luke 2:13

Title: A great company of angels

The humble beginnings of the Lord Jesus cannot be ignored if only for the army of angels watching over his birth. This early in his life, as a newborn babe, we are given an insight into the majesty of his person, the authority in his words, and the supremacy of his works. Why, then, have we paid no heed to the Messiah? The answer may lie in the fact that we have detached the power of heaven from the totality of His ministry on earth. We have forgotten about the multitude of powerful angels at his birth, that they had always been with him, ministering to the Immanuel who had nowhere to lay his head.
