The Glory Of God's Presence

A bear, a lion or a wolf would excite the sheep watchers, but the divine message the angels brought to the shepherds changed their lives forever.

Luke 2:9-11 And, lo, the angel of The Lord came upon them, and the glory of The Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ The Lord.

In the Glory of God's presence He beams down on earth with unapproachable light to declare the first step of redemption -- the birth of the redeemer. Of course, the shepherds were afraid.

The answer to every fear and every pain came with this one announcement.
