Of the Father's Love
*The story of Christmas couldn't be told without angels – those mysterious,
celestial creatures often depicted with wings and halos, those guardian spirits who act as intermediaries between heaven and earth. In the Bible, nine
different angels are mentioned, with names like Raphael, who provides God's
healing, Michael, who performas acts of justice, and perhaps most important
of all, Gabriel, who delivers God's messages. Those messages were foretold
by prophets centuries ago, and came to pass on one amazing night.
