Have you ever walked through an airport and heard the ascending chimes over the public address system? (Ding, ding, ding) When you hear that sound, you know there is an important announcement to be made…it’s time to pay attention or you will miss something urgent. The events of Christmas were prophesied hundreds and thousands of years before the event, but right before it happened, it was announced again. Do you know who the first one to hear that Jesus was about to be born was…and who was second, and third? We can learn much from those who first heard the birth announcement and it will help us to ADVANCE the Gospel as we announce our own celebration of Christmas.
