Do We Believe In Angels?

Luke 2:8-15

Scripture tells of angels. . .at Christmas, after Christmas.

Suddenly

Glory shone around them (peri, "around"; lampo, "to shine")

They were frightened (shame)

SAVIOR--you are not alone

GLORY TO GOD (kabod, Hebrew, "weight, significance")

     Military feel (host, "strateas', army or platoon)

     Recruited into a great and courageous enterprise

PEACE ON EARTH

     Peace predicated on His pleasure

     How does one find the approval of God?

In Whom do angels believe?
