   Advent Candle #4: Jesus, our Grace-Giver

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, 

and we have seen his glory, 

glory as of the only Son from the Father, 

full of grace and truth…. 

For from his fullness we have all received, 

grace upon grace. 

For the law was given through Moses; 

grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 

No one has ever seen God; 

the only God, who is at the Father's side, 

he has made him known.

(John 1:14-18)

Angels’ Song: Gloria in excelsis Deo

The Kingdom of Jesus: A Study in Luke’s Gospel (#7)

Luke 2:8-21 

The birth of Jesus may have been told in prosaic language, but the response to it certainly was not. A third angelic announcement was made, and the heavenly choir sang, “Gloria in excelsis Deo!”  Why the celebration? This is why: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Let’s take a closer look at this seminal story in Luke’s Christmas narrative.
