let’s just talk for a moment about the reasons for the Angels at Christmas why do they show up why are they present why did God employ them in such a way well let me give you some suggestions first of all they are important in this story because of their curiosity the Angels had seen the Son of God in his deity but never until now had they seen him enshrined in humanity God incarnate that was new to them they had seen their lord as the governor of the universe but never and now un the subject of the universe he

was obeying his own law as if he were a mere creature and in the attitude of a servant they had seen thousands of people worship and adore him but never until now had they seen him so fragile so small so vulnerable can you understand coming at it from an angel’s perspective all of your whole existence from the first day of creation till day Jesus was sent into this world all you did was worship the Son of God and then one day the news rattled Around Heaven that God the father had a plan that included sending

his son into this world to become a man can you imagine the Angels who would worship Him from that day forward wondering what that was all about curious to know what God was up to realizing everything they had been accustomed to is about to change God the Father in Heaven has sending his son to the Earth and how will they be involved and what will they do how will they have a different Ministry than they already have surely those are the thoughts that went through the Angel’s minds they wondered after it the Bible actually

tells us they were curious about it they wanted to know what was going on can you imagine the Angels being curious about you Billy Graham collected and retold many reputable stories of experiences with angels including this family account of his maternal grandmother’s death he wrote the room seemed to fill with a Heavenly light she sat up in bed and almost laughingly said I see Jesus he has his arms outstretched toward me I see Ben her husband who had died some years earlier and I see the Angels then she slumped over absent from the body

present with the Lord biligram said when he was asked do you believe in angels He said not only because they’re in the Bible do I believe them but because I have sensed their presence in many occasions when I would go to preach and would be so spent from all that had happened to me during the week that had the Angels not attended me I would never have been able to finish my sermon God has become especially real to me he said at times like that sent his unseen Angelic visitors to touch my body and let me be his messenger for heaven
