Why did the angels say \u201cfear not\u201d to so many people at the very first Christmas? What\u2019s there to fear about a little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay? What's there to be afraid of?

We tend to bury that fear with distraction, polish, and the illusion that we have plenty of time to figure it out. The angel announced a better way: \u201cFear not, for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy.\u201d Let\u2019s marvel at the good news both on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day
