As we continue to celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us reflect on the words of the Apostle John in his gospel, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:1-5, ESV)
Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, came into the world to bring light and life to all mankind. He is the true light, the light that shines in the darkness and cannot be overcome. As we reflect on the events of His birth, let us remember that He came to save us from our sins and to bring us into a right relationship with God.
In the midst of the darkness of this world, let us look to Jesus as our light and our salvation. As the prophet Isaiah said, "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone." (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)
May we be filled with the light of Christ and may we share that light with others. May we be a beacon of hope and love in a world that is often filled with darkness and despair.
Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to be our light and our salvation. Help us to reflect His light in our lives and to share that light with others. May we be a beacon of hope and love in a world that is often filled with darkness and despair. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
