1st Sunday After Christmas
Luke 2:22-40
The shepherds have returned to their flocks. Seared into their memory is the brush of angel wings, an angelic choir and the original version of the "Hallelujah Chorus." The angel choir rows are empty, and the angel trumpeters are silent. They have returned to their heavenly spots to watch the unfolding drama of the earthly visitation of God as He walks the dusty streets and trails of Israel. The angels will listen with awe as He interacts with humanity. They will especially be interested in His three years of "rabbinic teaching," horrified at the crucifixion but elated at resurrection morning.
