What should it matter, that an angel came to see. A young girl, Mary is her name. What should it matter, that he tells her she will be. A virgin mother of a holy child.
What should it matter, if a ceaser needs to count. All the people in his land. What should it matter, that a husband and a wife walk all the way to Bethlehem.
It's a tiny step on the path to the manger. It's a tiny step on the road to the cross. It's a tiny step toward the birth of the Savior. It's a tiny step toward the light for the lost.

They are all just pieces of the promise. Can't you see. Each one a scene from a larger tapestry. When viewed together, then the story becomes clear. Each tiny step showing man that God is oh so near.
What should it matter, if some shepherds in a field. Are suddenly frightened by a light. What should it matter, that some angels sing and shout. Shattering the silence of the night.
