December 2010

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1-4 KJV)

Jesus said: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12 KJV)

Jesus came to be "The Christmas Light of the World." My favorite Christmas carol is "Silent Night." But this great song is not about darkness. It's about the Christmas Light that shines so bright! The third verse of "Silent Night" says,

Silent Night! Holy Night!
Son of God, love's pure light!
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth!
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth!

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 KJV)

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17 KJV)

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. (Isaiah 9:2 KJV)

I sing at Christmas because God has given me something to sing about. I no longer walk in darkness. I no longer dwell in the land of the shadow of death, the Light of the world has shined in my heart and set me free. Now Jesus wants me to be a Christmas light for all the world to see.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 KJV)
