Lights decorate our homes and line the streets blinking with reds, whites and greens. The advent is counted by lighting candles. We hold candle light services to celebrate the birth of Christ. Our Christmas trees twinkle with light.
So what does light have to do with Jesus. Oh the traditions probably just grew over time from different events, but the idea of light is very important when thinking about the baby who grew into the man we know as Jesus.
John 8:12 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.
And
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
And
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
And some day
Revelation 22:5 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
Prayer: Dear Lord, you are the light of the world, help me to walk in that light that I might have fellowships with those who are yours.
Meditation: Think about living with God where there is no need for light or the sun, because the light of God will light the world.
Action. Sit outside and look up at the stars and the moon, just think about the one who spoke all of this into creation.
