December 22 Angels and Dreams

19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to
disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had
considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife;
for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She
will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His
people from their sins.”

Matthew 1:19-21 NASB

8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
