Morning Stars Together Proclaim the Holy Birth – O Little Town of Bethlehem
How we hear and receive a message is dramatically impacted by the means (or medium) through which it is delivered. Throughout the story of Scripture, God sent angels to deliver important messages to his people, often revealing his plans to advance his redemptive plans. When God’s messages came through one of his own messengers, it was clear this was important. Enter Mary, the humble girl who was engaged but not yet married. When Gabriel tells her that she will be giving birth to the Son of the Most High—though shocked by the news—Mary’s response demonstrates how we should also respond when God speaks to us.
