A long time ago God looked out upon the darkness and He said, "Let there be light." The Bible tells us that when He said these words light appeared. The darkness and the light were separated and we know from experience and by what the Bible states that the light always wins when it comes against the dark.
Many years after God first created the light, a virgin in Bethlehem gave birth to her firstborn son. This son grew up and later said, "I am the light of the world." God the Father sent His son to light the entire world and in doing so He overcame all the darkness!
Those of us who have been born again will one day go to a place where there is no darkness. The Lord Jesus Christ is the light of that wonderful place called heaven that we are headed to; where we shall spend eternity because He conquered the darkness of sin through His perfect life, death, burial, and resurrection!
During this beautiful Christmas season we will see many exquisite sites of Christmas trees, lights, and decorations. I would like to encourage you that every time you hang a string of lights, witness a festive scene, or drive by a home decorated for Christmas to remember that Jesus is the Light of the world. It was during this time that the true Light from heaven came and dwelt among us to save us from our sins, to deliver us out of darkness. It is no wonder we celebrate with lights! May the Light of the world warm your hearts this Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
