And suddenly there was with the angels a multitude of heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Luke 2:13
The Glorious Event!
When Jesus was born a glorious event occurred on earth that made way for an invasion of God’s Kingdom like had never happened before. The magnitude of this happening on earth broke the Richter scale! Jesus came and split time in half with His very Presence. He brought a shift into the earth that tipped the axis. Nations were affected, people were affected, time was affected and we are affected by the simplicity of His invasion and the power of His cross.
Mass Worship!
A mass demonstration of worship occurred in the heavens in response to this epic event. Hosts of angels, the armies of heaven, also referred to as celestial luminaries (in the original language) released massive praise and worship into the atmosphere of the earth like no one had ever seen! These angels that excel in strength were releasing a gigantic glorious praise into the heavens. The shepherds took note of this, deciding to go check out what was happening in this humble stable. To their surprise they showed up to see this baby born from the realm of heaven.
That Holy Thing
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:35
Jesus, that Holy Thing, was born of Mary. This Child was from another world, a realm that is far superior to this finite realm of earth. He who was from the beginning and is the Beginning now was made flesh dwelling among men. He was created, yet uncreated and made manifest in the fullness of time. He was and is the Seed that bruised and crushed the head of the serpent. Coming from His eternal holy realm, He broke into the earth to destroy the devil’s work. He brought utter ruin to his dark kingdom. Those who have received Him rejoice in their portion through divine inheritance. He will return in His glory for the clean up job at the end of the age.
Engage in mass worship this holiday with the angels of heaven, the cloud of witnesses and all creation to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Son of God, who came in His glory to redeem us into His family and kingdom.
