Gospel Theme:
A birth bringing a blessing
Gospel Note:
Luke's birth narrative, like Matthew's, is both profound and problematic, especially if treated as an historically factual account. Taken as a theological statement, however, the story is full of meaning. Especially clear is the testimony Luke attributes to the angels: first one announces the birth itself, then a multitude proclaims the blessing of peace on earth that it will bring.
