For the rest of Advent, we will continue to focus on the characters found in a typical nativity scene. And you’re encouraged to bring whichever character we’re talking about from your home nativity for a blessing during church. Last week it was the beasts. This week is Angels. Angels play several roles in the Christmas story, and on Sunday we’ll look at all of them. But what they have in common is that they always find it necessary to tell those to whom they appear to stop quaking in their boots. “Be not afraid!” they say. What’s that about, and what does their presence in these Advent and Christmas stories tell us about angels and the God who sends them?
