Christmas with the Gettys Part 2   (16 minutes)

From Isaiah chapter 9

The people walking in darkness have seen
   a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
   a light has dawned.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
     Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Christmas with the Gettys Part 3    (19 minutes)

From Luke chapter 2

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were terrified.

But the angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news that will cause great joy
for all the people. Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah,
the Lord. This will be a sign to you:
You will find a baby
wrapped in cloths
and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of
the heavenly host
appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying,

    “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
      and on earth peace to those
      on whom his favor rests.”
