Angels played a big part in the Christmas story. Have you ever noticed that in the
Bible, the first message angels bring is to “Fear not!” The word “angel” means messenger. These messengers are sent from God to mankind to give us important guidance and comfort. The beloved 91st Psalm tells us that “He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”
Christian Science defines angels, in part, as spiritual intuitions, as God’s thoughts passing to man. God’s thoughts are always present and available when we need them. The Christmas story is so precious partly because of the model for guidance that it provides for each of us.
