Today, we have
looked at the angels’ declaration, Glory to God in the Highest. This was said
at the Advent of our Lord, who was even then Emmanuel, God with us. Man could
not accomplish this great victorious work, even though God did use men to
accomplish His holy deeds. At every turn, we see that God is doing His work,
being faithful to His promises, to save that which is lost.
There is no greater glory for us than
to be saved from our sins and united to God in righteousness and holiness. That
is the reason that God sent His Son into the world. We celebrate that glory at
Christmas but it was not fully realized until Calvary and Pentecost. But at
Calvary, we again see that God receives glory in the highest, for no man could
have died for all men but that One perfect man, the Lord Jesus. And so we find
ourselves again simply gazing at the Lord’s work in wonder and declaring with
the angels, Glory to God in the Highest.

12 Unlikely Heroes sounds like an amazing book. For me, the hero is Paul/Saul. He had such a dramatic change. God saw the zeal he had and used it for good. Paul also learned to be content. Something we all should do.
