The answer is: Angels

Luke 2:13-14 - It is interesting to note that the angels 'said' and did not sing as we are led to believe by many of our popular hymns.

When we think about the nativity story, it’s fascinating how much word-of-mouth tradition has shaped our understanding of the text. While many Christmas carols have the heavenly host bursting into song, those vivid outbursts only come from our imaginations. Yet, the comforting announcement that the angels made in Luke 2:14 creates a profound message of hope and peace overruling global chaos—a sentiment not lost in any era!

Considering this, it’s eye-opening to dive into the angels' proclamation. The phrase “peace, goodwill to men” doesn’t just spotlight a typical greeting. “Goodwill” in original Biblical Hebrew translates to "favor," suggesting that it’s not limited to humanity but extends a warm invitation to harmony for all creation.

Speaking of broader contexts, the Angel Gabriel appeared earlier to announce Jesus’ impending birth, which reflects the profound role of divine messengers throughout the Bible. Thrillingly, the mentions of angels peak in significant Biblical decisions, reminding us that a connection exists between heavenly guidance and earthly journeys. Beyond vision, they serve a purpose—illuminating paths and offering enlightenment in our search for understanding.

Remember, the angels, instruments of declared divine will often greets high disdain from earthly powers, echoing truths that mysteriously resonate across ages. Especially during Christmas, their short yet powerful message urges all to reflect on faith that illuminates brightly in a world needing love and kindness now more than ever!
