Reflections at Christmas 5

John 1:5, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”

An explosion of light! Not just a twinkle, but THE Light from which emanates all that illuminates. He invades our darkness, and though it tries, darkness cannot seize and overtake Him. No! The Light has entered our world and shines brightly, declaring freedom to the captives, binding up the broken-hearted, and proclaiming God has come to us. He is Emmanuel!

He is the Word; He is Light; He is God, and He is with us! He came that darkness could no longer lay hold of us, but that by living in the Light, we could overcome the dark. The Eternal Light chose to step into time so that all who draw near could experience the fullness of His intent for us, reflecting His glory to others.

The Light came to dispel the darkness, and darkness didn’t have a fighting chance! Joy to the world, the LORD has come!
