Cartoon of two angels. One says, “It’s easier to be God’s messengers thanks to extended cell phone coverage.”
This comic is based on Matthew 1:18-25
One of the things that’s neat about the Nativity story is how angels are involved. There are other stories in the Bible with angels, But they show up prominently in all aspects of Jesus’ birth.
Gabriel is there to tell Zechariah about John the Baptist. He also tells Mary what is about to happen. Who could forget the heavenly host singing to the shepherds? An angel warns Joseph to take the mother and child to Egypt. Angels are everywhere in this story!
Then there’s today’s story. Until the angels appears, all Joseph knows is his fiance is expecting a baby and he had nothing to do with it. Instead of making a scene and making sure she was severely punished, he had decided to divorce her quietly.
But an angel comes to Joseph in a dream and explains what is happening. I’m glad God knew how to set thing strait. I’m also glad we have a Christmas to celebrate. It’s time to spread the good news, whether it’s through a blog, cell phone or your friendly, neighborhood angel. There is good news! a savior is born.
