Paramount Proclamation
Luke 2:8-21
Official proclamations have been used by rulers and governments for at least several thousand years. An angel (Gabriel?) appeared to lowly shepherds watching their flocks in the field to make a paramount proclamation. In this passage we see God using angels to proclaim the most unique, miraculous and glorious event to that date in history. The proclamation was:
For All People
Good News of Great Joy
About Grace Displayed through a Savior
Accompanied with Glorious Praise
Awaiting a Faithful Response
