The shepherds witnessed even more than an angel's announcement heralding the Messiah's arrival, as marvelous as that announcement was. A multitude of heavenly beings joined the angel and poured forth a message of joyous praise.
The heavenly host gave glory to God and declared there would be peace on earth. That peace, however, would come only to those "with whom He is pleased." Faith in the Savior sent by God was, and is, required to please God, and it is the only path to peace. The Holy One had come to earth to bring peace to those who were His enemies by their sin nature. How the angels marveled at this.
