“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world.Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8:12
Jesus is the true light and scatters the darkness. Light is much greater and penetrating than darkness.
As you sing “Silent Night, Holy Night, All Is Calm, All is Bright” during Christmas think of that, God is bright! Darkness may try to creep in in the form of lies, getting too busy for things of the Lord but in all the hustle and bustle of this holiday don’t forget what it is all about.
Your neighborhood may be decked out with Santa’s, snowmen, candy canes and so forth but if you have children or grandchildren make sure they are aware of whose day it really is.
PRAYER: This day is ever so special and the excitement of the secular side often drowns out the main reason for celebration. Teach me to slow down Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Yes, we should make children aware of the original meaning of the day. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
