For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:11-14 KJV
There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master. This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger.” At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises: Glory to God in the heavenly heights, Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.
Luke 2:11-14 MSG

Preach, Reverend.
Every year I read the Bible in a year. I was struck this year by how much the minor prophets look forward to the Messiah.
They do, TB. The so-called "major" prophets spent a lot of time pointing ahead, but also wrote about a great many other things. Many of the minor prophets only spoke about one or two topics. But Jesus was & is always the subject. :)
Amen.
Merry Christmas and God bless to all.
Merry Christmas, Linda.
