Don't you love it! This well-known passage (Luke 2:1-21) just seems to shine with the Father's excitement to share His good news. And it is some humble shepherds that get the message.
Really, has there ever been a birth announcement so glorious? These drowsy shepherds were probably just hoping the night would hurry on, when all of a sudden an angel with blazing glory all around appears.
The angel tries to explain through their shock that it's good news of great joy that's happened in the city today. A Savior for them and all people has been born. And they'll know Him when they see a baby wrapped in cloths in a manger. Hmm...
Then suddenly, as an exclamation mark on the announcement, they see a multitude - sized choir of praise angels. Whew! And the song is one that just had to be sung:

"Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
Notice, that all this happens because God's favor is on us. That is good news! Let's be like to the shepherds and hurry into His presence and then tell others.
