Luke 2:9–10 (NKJV)
[9] And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
[10] Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”
Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Thanks be to God that the birth of Jesus Christ has brought immeasurable joy to our world and to us as individuals. The coming of Christ changed the course of history and introduced lasting hope, peace, and salvation to humanity.
The angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds at a time they least expected, and they were greatly afraid. Yet, the message from heaven was not one of fear, but of good news. The angel reassured them and announced tidings of great joy for all people. May we also receive this good news afresh today.
With the angelic visitation came the glory of the Lord, shining all around the shepherds, a powerful and unforgettable encounter with God’s presence. Divine visitation is often accompanied by divine glory.
May the glory of God shine forth in your life as you receive angelic visitation. May this encounter bring you everlasting joy, peace, and glad tidings through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hallelujah! Amen.
