During the Christmas season, like no other time of the year, people seem to be drawn to the eternal. We seem to be pulled toward the supernatural. Most of us down deep are tired of living in the natural world and when we think about Christmas and the miracle of Jesus Christ, we are drawn to it. The Bible explains it to us in Ecclesiastes 3:11 when it states, “God has set eternity in the hearts of men.” We have the baby Jesus born in a cave with the angels worshipping Him and the angels knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that this little defenseless baby is the creator of the universe. And God Himself tapped the angels on the shoulder and allowed them to bring this message to a group of just ordinary, hard working shepherds.
Luke 2:10. “But the angel said to them…” I want to talk to you about angels because there is a lot of misinformation and a lot of muddy stuff going around concerning these beings. I have made up an acrostic out of the word angel. Write that vertically on the back of your bulletin. A stands for aware. Angels are aware of what is going on in our lives. I Corinthians 4:9 states that we are a spectacle to angels. This word spectacle refers to an arena where a play, a drama or an athletic event is going on and people watch. The Bible says that angels watch us live our lives. Jesus said in Matthew 18:10 that each one of us is assigned a guardian angel the moment we are born.
A couple of years ago some good friends were traveling with me in a van. We were in a small town called Port O’Connor, Texas. The speed limit was 20 mph. We were heading to a restaurant and suddenly we saw a truck, traveling about 80 miles per hour, run through an intersection without stopping.
Let God take care of those, I just do what I need to do, what God is telling me to do – Dr. Ed Young
