The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. Luke 2:10-11

This good news is not news to many people because this world has already decided that only that which gives impact will merit its attention. Thanks to the technologically advanced marvels that confound the senses but do not in the least fill in the gnawing emptiness within.
But there has been recently a resurgence of interest in spiritual matters like the angels. They have captured the imagination of many as seen in a market demand for angels in figurines, books, movies and prayer books. Angels are bearers of good news and people who bring good news by their words and actions are into what we can call as angelic ministry. They announce the coming of the Lord because they make the worldly pursuits as senseless and stupid. So these "angels" remind all people of good will that unless we go back to the simplicity of the manger and the ironic scenery of the God born into poverty and helplessness then all the things that we see and hear are mere passing scenes of an insignificant movie we call life.
