Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!
Today's new drawing is of Angels in the Sky at the First Christmas.
At church, on Sunday we sang some songs about Christmas angels. Or at least the song mentioned the angels. So I got in the mood to draw angels. Angels appeared to the shepherds and announce the birth of the Savior of the World... Jesus Christ.
We Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus but often we get caught up in the commercialism and forget that the holiday is about a Savior being born to save us from our sins if we believe in him and repent of them. I don't have anything against Santa Claus etc. I have done Santa and reindeer drawings etc. But I just think we should always remember the "reason for the season."
Shepherds were kind of the bottom of the social and economic ladder in ancient Israel. Yet angels came to the humble shepherds first. I think of the ministry of the adult Jesus and He went and taught the sinners instead of shunning them. What a great lesson He taught us.
One of our apostles in our church... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taught us a couple of years ago the following analogy. He said that if the church were a car dealership... it would be the repair shop where broken cars are getting repaired, NOT the showroom floor where all the cars are on show in perfect condition. Think about that analogy. We all sin so we all need the Atonement of Jesus Christ to pay the eternal price for our sins. Thus His Atonement makes it possible for us to repent and be cleansed and return to our Heavenly Home... spotless before God.
NOTE: This new drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Holidays" or the button labeled "Religious." It will be in the New Testament section of the Religious pages. And, of course, it will be in the "Christmas" section of the "Holidays" page.
