The Angels, An Advent Song of Effect

The angels did more than announce the birth of Jesus—they sang. And their song was not background music, but a declaration that changed everything. In this fourth Sunday of Advent message from Luke 2, we listen again to the angels’ song and ask a simple but searching question: What effect does this announcement still have on us? “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace…” is not sentimental poetry—it is the declaration that heaven has come to earth. Terry reflects on how songs shape us, how God’s love arrives embodied rather than abstract, and how the shepherds returned to ordinary life profoundly changed.
