The “multitude of the heavenly host” that appeared to a group of Judean shepherds radiated heavenly glory as they proclaimed, “Glory to God in the highest” (Luke 2:9, 14). But as stunning as the angels were, the greatest display of God’s glory at Christmas was not in the night skies over Bethlehem but in a feeding trough somewhere on the outskirts of town. buff.ly/bRnaxTz
