The Light of the World

Dear Saints!

Who doesn’t like Christmas Lights at Christmas? We’ve made it a tradition in our family to drive around town on Christmas Eve just to see all the lights in the neighborhoods. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas as we know it without the lights. Can you imagine Christmas Vacation without Griswald’s “250 strands of 100 lights each totaling 2500 lights” on his house? Lights and Christmas just go together!

Isn’t it just a bit satisfying that on that first Christmas some 2000 years ago they weren’t without light either? Sure there was no room at the inn. Sure they were with the cattle in some barn/cave space with a manger—but they were not without LIGHT!

John writes “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light (Jesus himself) shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” John‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬-‭5‬,9. 

See it? The Light that gives light to all men came into this world that first Christmas morning! 

I hope you join us this Sunday at Mosaic as we talk about this Christmas Light—Jesus himself—who has come into our dark world so that we can truly see. 

I hope to see you Sunday!
