Joy to Your World!

If there is one truth that leaps out at us from the pages of Scripture at Christmas, it is that Jesus came to be the Light of the world! Light came into this dark world when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The prophet Isaiah calls Jesus “a great light” who has shined on those who “walked in darkness”. The prophet is referring to spiritual darkness, which also is so very great. But the darkness was no match for the Light of the world, God’s Messiah…the Lord Jesus Christ. Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, also anticipated the coming of the Savior. In his great song of praise, he prophesied that Jesus would “give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:79) Another man of God by the name of Simeon pointed to the light as he blessed the baby Jesus (Luke 2:32). No matter where you turn in God’s Word, you will find that Christmas is about light.  As you sing Carols of praise this Christmas notice how many speak of the Light of the world…Jesus.

Light has come into our world, and we never need to walk in darkness again. Shed some light on your world. Bring Joy to Your World…The Lord has come indeed!
