Overheard on a hill overlooking Bethlehem, 0 BC
"Woof! Woof!"
"What is it Lassie girl? Another wolf, or has one of those not-ready-for-Mensa sheep wandered off again? Whoa!! Wake up Sam! Look at the size of that star! It seems to be lighting up the whole city, but especially that old stable. What are all those lights flying toward us? Goodness gracious! It's a herd of angels! Sam, did you forget to take that wandering sheep back to Mr. Schmidt's flock?"
"Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people."
"Fear not, my foot! I may have to change my undies."
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
"A Savior, which is Christ the Lord? Whatta ya think that means, Sam? Maybe a leader like David who can smack down all the lions and gladiators in the coliseum and help us send these Romans packing? Or could He truly be the Anointed One, the Messiah, sent by God to rule the whole world?"
"And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
"Well, I guess that explains the big star."
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
"Sam, I'm still not sure what to make of all this, but I think we should check it out. Get your staff and let's go pay our respect to this little "Soul Man". Lassie, you watch the sheep. Hurry Sam!"
"Hold on Dave, I'm coming."
"Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people."
