John 3:19-20 --> 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
I see a similar message in the lights of Christmas. The flame of every candle and the brilliance of every twinkling bulb remind me that warning and welcome are at the heart of Jesus' coming to this world. Just like lighthouses have been built around the world to warn sailors of dangerous rocks and reefs and let them know that a safe harbor is near. It's their dual message of danger and safety. The great danger of our lives is that we will be aware of Jesus Christ as the light of the world, yet choose to live in the shadows so we can do as we please. In contrast, our grand opportunity is to walk a path made bright by the presence of the Savior: "But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. (v.21)" Jesus affirmed His identity when 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)"
At Christmas, God warns us of the dangers of darkness, and calls us to follow the light -- JESUS -- into the safe harbor of His presence and love. May you all, my dear friends have a truly meaningful and blessed Christmas!! May you have your dearly loved ones around you during this Christmas season.
