See the many ways that angels show up in the Christmas story with this account of Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2.

God uses angels to speak to people in the Bible on many occasions. Around Jesus’ birth, angels show up everywhere: the angel Gabriel speaks to Mary and to Joseph, the chorus of angels appears before the shepherds, and an angel warns Mary and Joseph about king Herod after Jesus’ birth. Angels are a remarkable tool used by God to communicate with His people, and they show how God is looking out for those He loves all the time.
