The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. – John 1:9
One of the things I like about the Advent season is all the beautiful Christmas lights; lights that shine from rooftops, twinkle on Christmas trees, shimmer from store windows, and flicker from the flames on the Advent candles. All the lights seem to glow in one amazing chorus like an angelic choir announcing the coming of Christ.
The lights at Christmas time remind us that Jesus is the light of the world and he came in order to give light to a dark world. In life we go through dark times, when it seems like someone has turned off the switch and everything around us is shadowed in darkness. It is difficult to walk in darkness; we often stumble, fall and lose our way. But Jesus came into the world to bring us light to help us through those times of darkness and to show us the way. All we need to do is follow Jesus and live in his light.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for coming into the world to shine light in my darkness. May you always show me the way and keep me from falling. Help me to follow you and live in your light. Amen.
Faith Tip: We often get so busy preparing for Christmas that we don’t appreciate the beauty of the Christmas decorations. Today take some time to look at the Christmas lights and thank the Lord for his light in your life.
