PRAISE OF ANGELS - An angel declares that a baby in a manger in Bethlehem is to be called "Savior." He is not "Christ your Lord" but “Christ the Lord," sovereign Lord of all creation. The Messiah had come, and the heavens resounded with the praise of angels. We have been brought from death to life, from darkness into light. Let the heavens resound with our praise! “For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Suddenly there was with the angel a company of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men.” The angel that appeared to the shepherds that glorious night made an astounding statement. The shepherds knew Isaiah 43:11, "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me, there is no savior." But now, an angel declares that a baby in a manger in Bethlehem is to be called "Savior." He is not "Christ your Lord" but “Christ the Lord," sovereign Lord of all creation. The angel was suddenly accompanied by "a great heavenly host." Together they begin to praise the One they served perpetually in heaven, the One who had now entered time wrapped in human flesh. The Messiah had come, and the heavens resounded with the praise of angels. Should we not do the same? Do your lips constantly praise Him? Do you always bless and never curse His name? How will you give Jesus praise today?

lyrics

I have travelled many moonless night
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, 
you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now

[Chorus]

Breath of heaven
Hold me together

Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Breath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place

But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

[Chorus: x2]

Breath of heaven
.
Breath of heaven.

DONKEYS THIS CHRISTMAS -The Christmas donkey did his work. He delivered Jesus so Jesus could be delivered. . He plodded. He didn’t gallop or giddy-up. He did what donkeys do. He steadily stepped in the direction the master directed. . And, upon arrival, he stepped to the side. He demanded no recognition, expected no compensation. He isn’t even mentioned in the Bible.

Let’s Be Donkeys This Christmas

Max Lucado

.

Christmas bespeaks of nativity. And nativity gives occasion to nativity plays.

.

Who knows who first came up with the idea of dramatizing the birth of Christ, but the first script has inspired innumerable others.

.

Though each has its own unique wrinkle, they all have some common features: angels with chiffon wings, wise men and their gifts from afar.

.

A weary innkeeper will turn Mary away. A wide-eyed Joseph will bunch the manger’s hay.

.

And Mary, weary and sweet will say, “I think today.”

 .

Beneath a suspended star a baby will be born, the angels will sing, the wise men will kneel and children of all ages will go home telling their parents that next year they want a part in the nativity play.

 .

Little boys want to be Joseph. Little girls want to be Mary.

 .

Some want to wear the angel wings or bear gifts from a distant land.

 .

A few might even offer to be the hard-hearted Herod or the hassled innkeeper.

 .

But no one, ever, as far as I know, volunteers to be the donkey. Which is odd, actually, for what greater honor could exist than to do what the donkey did?

 .

He carried Jesus.

 .

I know, Joseph is better looking and Mary is quite stunning.

 .

Wise men get the cool hats and angels have the hallelujahs.

 .

And the donkey? He just stands to the side and chews on hay.

 .

But look at him. Do you not see contentment in those big, brown eyes?

 .

A look of satisfacti.on on his face?

 .

He just delivered history’s greatest gift!

 .

Before Santa had a sleigh or UPS had trucks, God had a donkey.

 .

Thanks, in no small part, to him, the choir can sing “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given.”

 .

I know, I know. We’d rather be Joseph, rugged and bearded.

 .

We’d rather be Mary, faithful, beautiful, and immaculate.

 .

But somebody needs to be the donkey.

 .

I’m thinking a donkey at Christmas is a good thing to be.

 .

The Christmas donkey did his work. He delivered Jesus so Jesus could be delivered.

 .

He plodded. He didn’t gallop or giddy-up. He did what donkeys do. He steadily stepped in the direction the master directed.

 .

And, upon arrival, he stepped to the side. He demanded no recognition, expected no compensation. He isn’t even mentioned in the Bible.

 .

He was happy to do his job and let Jesus have all the attention.

 .

Perhaps we could learn a lesson from the Christmas donkey?

 . .

There is always a place in the nativity, God’s nativity story, for the person who will plod along expecting no applause, bear up under the weight of the long haul, and carry the One who will carry us all.

 .

So here’s to the donkeys of the story.

 .

May your ride be faithful and your rest be fruitful.

 .

And we will do our best to follow your example. 

Max Lucado has spent the last 40 years telling the story of God’s grace in books, in pulpits, on broadcasts, on music tours…every chance he gets. He found a forgiveness that is too deep to be plumbed, too high to be summited. Max’s message of God’s unfathomable grace has resonated with people around the world for the past thirty years, making Max one of the world’s most popular authors, selling nearly 100 million copies and occupying spots on every major national bestseller list.

His writing has been translated into more than 54 languages, and has been featured in countless national media outlets. Lucado was dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, Reader’s Digest called him “The Best Preacher in America,” and The New York Times named him one of the most influential leaders in social media. In addition to books, Lucado’s writing has been shaped into an additional 20 million products sold, including videos, devotionals, songs, plush toys, greeting cards, booklets, Bible studies, commentaries and theatrically-released movies.

Max believes one of God’s most enduring graces to him are the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas where he has been on staff since 1988 and he currently serves as Senior Minister. Every book he writes has first been preached to the people at Oak Hills.
