Christmas lights brighten the dark evenings of December and are a reminder to us that no matter how dark this season may be, the coming of Jesus into the world brought light and hope and joy. Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus is the reason for the season.
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12 NLT)
If we call on Him, God will be our shelter in times of trouble. Where there is darkness, God will bring light. When we walk with Him, He will lead us to the pathway of peace. In the past we walked alone in our darkness. Now that God is with us, we need never face our problems alone. God may not be physically visible, but we have His Word that He watches over us and will keep us from harm.
I am GOD, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go. If you had listened all along to what I told you, your life would have flowed full like a river, blessings rolling in like waves from the sea. (Isaiah 48:17-18 MSG)
Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79 NLT)
Prayer: Light of the World, Guide me out of darkness and lead me into God's glorious light and peace. Amen
