In the pageant of Christmas, angels play a significant role, announcing the miraculous conception, declaring the Savior's birth, and guarding God's Son throughout much of His life. Most Christians have a limited understanding of angels, leading to strange myths and half-truths. In this special Christmas series, we learn who and what angels are, what ministry they perform, and why they are important to God's people.

This Christmas Eve message from the “From the Realms of Glory” series focuses on Luke 2:10-11 and the Core Competency of Joy.
