The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

Love’s flame warmed the heart of a young
virgin when the Archangel Gabriel came to
announce the Good News that a saviour was to be
born. The Archangel Gabriel announced every
major proclamation of God. It is not so surprising
that Mary was a little afraid when confronted with
such a glorious being as Gabriel, although her fear
was that of respect rather than that born of a lack
of faith. It was her faith to say yes that brought
about the greatest miracle of God in all of history,
past, present and future and an angel announced
it.
When the time came for the Saviour to
enter into the world, angels appeared to
shepherds and proclaimed the good news of a
Saviour born. The glory of God shone around
them with an angelic multitude of the Heavenly
Host, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the
highest, and peace to those on whom His favour rests"
(Luke.2:9-14). The Shepherds saw that glory on
that first Christmas night and Mary treasured
these things in her heart (Luke 2:19).
