The light that dispels the darkness!
At one point in the history of humanity, an angel announced the birth of the Messiah and those shepherds who received the message were filled with great joy.
Even with the fear that the presence of the apparition of the angel caused them, this same angel tells the shepherds: "Do not be afraid." He immediately gives them the news that would be hopeful not only for them but for all the people.
The appearance of this angel uses light to dispel the darkness of the night and also in the same way the fear that was wanted to be placed in the hearts of those shepherds. This picture shows us very clearly that even in the midst of darkness, complicated and very difficult situations, the Lord Jesus Christ himself invites us to live with great joy, understanding that God is with us and that light is the same yesterday, today and forever.
And behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were greatly afraid. 10 But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:
Luke 2:9-10
