Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14
Heaven could not refrain from proclaiming the joyful words, “Glory to God in the highest.” The heavenly beings praised God for the “glory” that was now being manifested, the glory of the incarnate Son of God. Glory was shining forth in the Babe that had been born—God’s Saviour. The King had come. God was manifested, “Emmanuel, God with us.” During this Christmas season may we proclaim with joyful wonder, “Glory to God in the highest.” —James Comte
Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” —C. Wesley
