“There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and laying in a manger.’

SUDDENLY a great  company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.‘”

(Things happen SUDDENLY in the Kingdom of God. This is good news. Merry Christmas !)
