The Light of Jesus

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. – Isaiah 9:2

Yesterday, around mid-afternoon, a large bank of dark clouds covered the sky.  I mentioned to my daughter how dark it was for the middle of the day.  However, the darkness did not last.  Before long the clouds had gone away and bright sunlight had broken through the darkness.  Here in western Michigan any amount of sun is a welcomed sight in the midst of what is usually a dark and dreary winter.  Imagine what it would be like to live in a land of darkness without any light.

Because of our sins we do live in the midst of darkness.  Our life is covered with a dreary, cold darkness.  However, we no longer have to live in the midst of the darkness of sin, because God has given us a “great light” in Jesus Christ.   That is the good news that we celebrate on Christmas; the wonderful gift of the light of Jesus.

Prayer:  Thank you Lord for the light of Jesus that shines in my life.  May His light always shine in my heart and break through the darkness of sin.  Amen.

Faith Tip:  Are you struggling with the darkness of sin in your life?  If so let the light of Jesus shine in your heart and celebrate that Jesus light dawned for all on Christmas.
