The same angel brought good news to the shepherds herding nearby so that they would not be terrified. The good news behind Jesus' coming to earth is borne by an angel. The glory of the Lord shone around the shepherds. The scenario of such birth and Bethlehem itself is attributively supernaturally dictated. So, the angel asked them not to be afraid. Because Bethlehem, though a tiny town, gave birth to a Savior. He is Christ. His birth is a great news of joy for all men.

The angel added "This will be a sign to you : You will find a baby wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger". Jesus was noted to have been in cloths wrapped and kept in a manger. It is his pointing to a precise identification, just 'a sign' which potentially denotes God's miracle unlike any human birth from womb. A manger could be the baby's comfort place of after birth. When Jesus was nailed on the Cross, his head was adorned with a crown decked with thorns, not with gems or pearls. A manger or a crown of thorn is an antilogy of the impression for any king or queen of the world. Because a king must be born in a king's palace. He must be enthroned with a richly crown. Obviously the antilogy attributes God's kingdom which is absolutely different from men's kingdom.

Men's king has many soldiers, power and pomp. Crown and throne make him great to the subjects. Fear and care he enjoys from them. Jesus, a king God made, had no soldiers or crown, rather he was ridiculed with a crown of thorns. Prophet Isaiah said Jesus was a magnificent king. This is rightly said. His kingdom is celestial. His kingdom is Heavenly. The kingdom metaphysically unfolds in the ever-stretching realm of a human soul. The kingdom cannot be seen as God cannot be seen. It is celestial as Heaven is. In Heaven's kingdom peace is the king that rules life.

Peace cannot be made. It is a gifted blessing. It is divine. It is only God's. Socrates showed moral imagination. Aristotle pointed to democracy. Alexander established chivalry and conquest. Isaac Newton noticed law of science in the universe. Peace cannot be seen. It can be only felt and enjoyed. No hero, no writer, no thinker, no scientist or no statesman made an example of absolute peace. There are many peace processes which are relative, not absolute. For relative peace, relative sacrifice is needed. For absolute peace, absolute sacrifice has no alternative. The past and the present of the world have fostered many examples of relative peace, not an absolute peace. Because peace is celestial, not earthly palpable.

A great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel who praised God and said, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests" in Luke 2 : 14, while Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem, king David's town. Jesus is made vivid to be a symbol of peace. He has brought peace. On the Cross just seconds to die Jesus prayed to God to forgive those who nailed him. In his being caught by the enemies and brought to the rulers for crucifixion he remained undaunted suggesting he has borne his Heavenly Father's wish to found peace among mankind. Jesus did not flee away though he knew he was being caught soon at the betrayal of his own disciple. Peace was greater than all to him and he kept praying on the eve of being arrested. He arbitrated Peter to stop to attempt defending him against the captors. He blasted while Peter rose impatient to protect. He pointed that his kingdom was in Heaven. His existing on earth was only to fulfil God's wish. His appearance to Thomas was an absolute answer of the whole world's question of impossibility of coming back after death once. Jesus' resurrection is another miraculous sign that is entirely celestial and divine.

Mary found her little baby Jesus was adored by the men from the far off East. This surprised her. The cattle and their naive scenario of the stable's surroundings on a lonely night doubled her senses of awe and surprise when the baby came to her virgin womb without an amity with Joseph. Poverty ruled the tranquil scenario of the birth. But angels declared it different. A king was born. Poverty is gone. Peace steps in. It is a gift of God as a little newborn king lying in the manger. Poverty never comes from food and clothing. It originally comes from the sin of disobeying God. Jesus says man does not live only with bread but by the word of God. Jesus paved a new way to live in peace in eternity after world's misery.

The mother Mary silently kept watching all things around that happened centered on her newborn. Shepherds heard and were amazed of the king's birth. Angels sang and praised God. Wise men gifted and worshiped led by a star. All the happenings were not familiar to the sense of her being a simple woman, not knowing a man. They nudged her introspective and intuitive entity. Intrinsically she fathomed a shadow of God and His greatness in her immature womankind. The 19th Verse of Luke, Chapter 2 tells "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart" which in her different identification of the world we can obviously call Heaven. It is the celestial world. Christmas bears the joy that is the hope that a man can enter Heaven through Jesus Christ.

The story of Jesus Christ's birth is rich with many divinely gifted events. These are paradoxical to the events of any human birth. Jesus' birth in a stable and being kept in a manger is suggestive of the realm of the Almighty God. He is the celestial being of miracles. Jesus points to a Heaven for all men. He brings peace by crucifixion of himself edifying forgiveness. His birth magnifies God's making an impossible into a plainly possible thing which our world's reason cannot answer. Innocent love and faith can dictate one to the realm of Jesus' kingdom of peace. He who believes in Jesus will attain Salvation and enter into Heaven. Heaven's life is celestial. Glory rules life here as the Holy Bible says. So, Christians surely tell their neighbours of the celestial joy of commemorating Jesus' birth on this Merry Christmas.
