Christmas According to the Angels.

Gospel Birth Announcements

Matthew the Evangelist tells us that it was one of them who brought the announcement of the upcoming birth to Joseph. Luke the Evangelist tells us that it was one of them who brought the announcement of the upcoming birth to Mary.

But why should we care about what these beings say about Jesus’ birth? because it was, they who came from the very presence of God in heaven and, declared to us all that is important for us to know about Christmas, about Jesus’ birth. “Christmas according to the Angels”?

Good News of Great Joy

Luke 2:10;Tua ciangin vantungmi in amaute kiangah lau kei un, Mi khempeuh aa ding a nuamhuai mahmah lungdamna thu kong pulak hi.

The Evangelist reviewed Jesus’ genealogy, he saw many who needed to hear good news of great joy. Jesus’ (adopted) ancestors were swindlers and usurpers, harlots, daughters of incest, and adulterers, exiles, and prisoners: casualties of sin and death, one and all.

The angels’ birth announcements brought good news of great joy to those who know themselves to be sons and daughters of sin and death. If we are to join the angels in rejoicing over the birth of Jesus, we must have ears to hear what the Spirit said through them.

To All the People

Luke 2:10) Tua ciangin vantungmi in amaute kingah lau kei un, Mi khempeuh aa ding a nuamhuai mahmah lungdamna thu kong pulak hi.

He saves only those sinners who repent and believe. What the birth announcements of the angels are saying, then, is that the God of the Bible shows no partiality in saving sinners.

He saves females as well as males, the poor as well as the rich, the powerless as well as the powerful. He saves non-Jews as well as Jews.The OT prophet Jonah was very displeased with the prospect that God’s impartiality could include even those notorious evildoers in Assyria who repented.Jonah 4:3.

Titles Used to Describe Jesus

Luke 2:11, bang hang hiam cihleh tuni in Topa, Khazih ahi Honpa in note aa dingin David khua ah a suakzo hiMatt 1:21, Amah in tapa khat nei ding a, tua tapa in ama mite a mawhna panun honkhia ding ahih manin a min Zeisu na phuak ding hi aci hi.).

His very name in Hebrew “Joshua,” “Yahweh (Jehovah) saves.” In Jesus, then, there is a “Joshua” who brings a deliverance greater than that of Moses, of Joshua, and of David. They had delivered the nation from their Gentile enemies.

but Jesus will deliver His people from their sins, and in so doing, He will show Himself to be God Himself, for it is God alone who redeems His people from their sins (Ps 130:8, Tua hi a, amah in khialhna khempeuh pan in Israel tankhia ding hi.).

Titles Used to Describe Jesus

The Child in the manger is not only “Savior”; He is also “Christ” (Luke 2:11, bang hang hiam cihleh tuni in Topa, Khazih ahi Honpa in note aa dingin David khua ah a suakzo hi), the Anointed One of God.

Titles Used to Describe Jesus

(Luke 2:11, bang hang hiam cihleh tuni in Topa, Khazih ahi Honpa in note aa dingin David khua ah a suakzo hi), He is “God with us” (Matt 1:23, Kamsangpa in ngai un, nungak siangtho khat gai in Tapa khat neiding a, ama min Immanuel kici ding hi. aci hi. Emmanuel a khiatna in Eite tawh Pasian hong omkhawm hi, a cihna a hi hi.

He is God, absolute Sovereign over all, He is the Son called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” whose government and peace will never end as He reigns on David’s throne forever (Isa 9:6).

The angels announce that someone greater than Abraham is here, someone greater than Moses and Joshua is here, someone greater than David and Solomon is here. Jesus exceeds them all in His person and His work. What “good news of great joy” to “all the people” this is!

Glory to God and Peace for Man

“glory to God” and “peace for man.” (Luke 2:14, Amaute in a sangpen na muna om Pasian minthang ta hen, leitung ah kilemna om henla, leitung mite tungah nopna omta hen ci-in Pasian a phat uh hi.

Heb 1:3, Tapa in Pasian vangliatna a tankhiatna le Pasian lim le mel taktak kilah khiatna a hi hi. Amah in a vanglian ama kammal tawh na khempeuh a lenkip hi. Ih mawhnate amahmah in a sawpsiang khit ciangin a sangpen mun a om Vanglianpenpa taklam ah a tu hi.

The angels who celebrated “glory to God” also celebrated “peace for man.” In Jesus full reconciliation with God has been made available to those on whom His pleasure rests. Does God’s pleasure rest on you?

The Gospel birth announcements tell us about “Christmas according to the Angels.” In those announcements we find “good news of great joy” to “all the people” as they speak to us of Jesus’ person and work and as they celebrate glory to God and peace for man.

The Joy of the Angels

You see, their joy is not in their own salvation, for angels will never know the joy of their own salvation. The joy they know is a joy in our salvation, a joy that has been since the beginning of time, way back to Genesis. Yes, the angels who sang during creation week

(Job 38:4, leitung ka bawl laitakin nang om na hi hiam? Thei kisa nahih leh tua thu hong gen in.5, Bangcia in golsak ding cih kua in she ahihiam? Kua in agol nading zah khua khai ahihiam? Hihte khempeuh thei kisa na hihiam?6, Leitung a pua khuampite bang tungah kiphut ahihiam? Kua in leitung a bulpi phut ahihiam?7, Tua ni-in zingsang aksite in lasa khawm uh a, Pasian’ tapate lungdamin a kiko uh hi.).

the cherubim, the seraphim, the archangels, and all the other ranks of angels—they were all present at the birth of our first father Adam. They were also there at the fall of Adam.

They were also there as God banished sinful Adam, Eve, and the serpent from the garden. Those angels as guardians of the way to the tree of life, and they watched as God drove the man, his wife, and the serpent out of the garden.

There they stayed, looking, watching, longing to see the triumph of God’s grace come to pass in the birth of that Savior who would deliver His people from sin and death.

They were there in Bethlehem, speaking to Joseph, to Mary, to shepherds. And still, they are watching to see the triumph of God’s grace in us who will receive and rest in Jesus alone for salvation.
