The narrative is filled with inspired scenes highlighting all those who were sent; prophets sent to prepare the way for the coming Messiah; angels sent to carry the news to Mary; Mary and Joseph sent to Bethlehem to humbly bear God's Son; shepherds sent to worship the Child in the manger; wise men sent from distant orient lands with precious gifts for the Child; and, finally, Christians sent into the world to proclaim the gospel message that a new light is comin'!
