Encroaching Light (Part 2)

And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. – Luke 2:9, NASB

You’re wandering in the field in the dark of night with the rest of flock. Cold and shivering in the damp grass, you hear the groans of unseen others. A prayer emerges from your lips seeking a glimmer of hope, a direction. All you want is a pinpoint of light to pierce this darkness and show you the way out. Suddenly a brilliant light appears. An angel of the Lord surrounded by the glory of the Lord. Fear rises up, threatening to overtake you.
