Summary: Narrative story of how Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem and gave birth to Jesus
“Glory to God in the highest!” the angels had said. “Peace on earth to men on whom his favor rests!” (Luke 2:14) The shepherds quickly fell on their faces, recognizing the holy angels of God. Shocked into silence, they listened further to the words of the heavenly messengers: “Go into Bethlehem, to a stable; there you will find the babe - the Son of God - wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And so they had hurried to do the angel’s bidding. And in wonderment they all stared at the baby now sleeping in the manger.
“What child is this?” they asked.
