Three people heard God’s call for each of them in three biblical Christmas stories. They had different homes. One was an older couple who could not have kids. One was an engaged young woman living with her family and the other was a young man likely living alone or with roommates.
To each one God’s angel said, “do not be afraid.” What were they afraid of? They were scared of the angel and the message God had for each of them. We can easily be scared of the message God has for us.
