Christ has come to the world. In more practical terms related to today’s scripture lesson, Mary and Joseph are now living with a small child in Bethlehem. Maybe Joseph was used to angels and God sending him messages by now. Maybe it had been a while, and he thought those times were behind him. However, strangers arriving from another country bringing unusual gifts is one more “God thing” that happens in their lives. Then Joseph gets another message from an angel. What does this story tell us about how God is working with us now? We can trust that God is still sending those messages, and we do not need to be afraid.
