Gloria in Excelsis!

Read: Luke 2:8-20

Who can know what angels think?

Pure thought.

Pure obedience.

Pure delight.

Pure worship.

We can but touch these for a moment –

or rather, imagine that we have.

We marvel that God came to us,

that Jesus was born;

and marvel it was and is!

They saw their Lord and Creator leave them,

saw Him go to Earth to become a man,

a little lower than angels.

What could this mean?

What wondrous Love they saw when

Love came down at Christmas; and

What could they do but what they did?

Fill the whole sky – all the Heavens –

with their song of worship, praise, and wonder.

Charlie van Becelaere
