Lessons from the Angels
To frightened shepherdson the first ChristmasEve, a host of angelssang, Glory to God in thehighest, and on earthpeace, good will toward
men (Luke 2:14, KJV).
Nineteenth-centuryminister Charles Kingsleyexplained how these key
words tell the meaning of Jesus birth and give meaning to our lives.
Glory. That little babe, lying in the manger among the cattle, wasshowing the very highest glory of the great God who had madeheaven and earth. To stoop, to condescend, to have mercy, to forgive that is the highest glory of God.
Peace. God is not selfish. Hesacrificed himself for us. Sacri-fice yourselves then for eachother! Give up your own pride,your own selfishness, your owninterest for each other, and youwill be all at peace.
Good will. God loves you, andhe wills to raise you out of thisselfish, quarrelsome life of sin,into a loving, brotherly, peaceful
life of righteousness. That babein the manger at Bethlehem is asign to you and me that God willfreely give us that spirit of love
if we ask for it.

Gifts for a King
Bring him thy precious thingsAnd lay them at his feet;The gold of love, the hope thatspringsThe unknown ways to meet.
Bring him thy lovely things;The joy that conquers care,The faith that trusts and sings,The frankincense of prayer.
Bring him thy bitter things;The myrrh of grief and fears,The aching heart that stingsWith pain of unshed tears.
These for thy gifts to him;And for his gifts to thee,The comfort of his steadfast love,His tender sympathy.
