Just A Thought: Christmas Light

No matter where you turn in God's Word, you’ll find that Christmas is about light. Jesus is the Light of the world! We love to sing "Silent Night, Holy Night," but this great carol is not about night. It's about the light. "Son of God, love's pure light - Radiant beams from Thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace." When we sing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," we say, “Hail the Son of righteousness! Light and life to all He brings." We sing at Christmas because we have something to sing about! Light has come into the world. We never walk in darkness again. John 1:1-5, explains why.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.”  - John 1:1-5
Jesus Is Pure Light - Jesus exposed sin, but He was never contaminated by sin. He could touch sinners, but sin never touched Jesus. When the Bible calls Jesus the "light of the world," it's a reminder of the sinless, stainless purity of the Son of God.
Jesus Is the Constant Light - Albert Einstein said the reason he was able to construct his famous Theory of Relativity was because there is one thing in the world that is constant - the speed of light. Everything else is relative. Jesus Is Our Constant. The sun will not shine for eternity. Its energy is slowly being used up. The sun will one day cease to shine, but the light of Jesus will illumine heaven throughout eternity!
Jesus Is the Source of Light - “And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb. (the Lord Jesus Christ) is the light.”  - Revelations 21:23
Jesus Light Is Vital - “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” Light and life are inextricably interwoven. Life is built on sunlight. Without it, our world would become cold, dark and dead. When Jesus was born, He came to give us life. When the Holy Spirit shined the light of the Gospel into our hearts, a life began where before there was only death. Everywhere Jesus went, He brought life. Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life."   - John 10:10

 Let Jesus Bring His Light and Life into your Christmas.
