This Advent and Christmas, we’re gathering around one simple truth: Jesus is the Light of the World. Many of us are carrying worries, grief, or just the heaviness of a busy, broken world. Into that darkness, God doesn’t send advice. He sends His Son, a light that no darkness in us or around us can overcome. As we hear the promises of Scripture, sing the carols, praise His Name, and gather around the manger and the cross, we’ll be reminded that this redeeming light is given for us: to forgive, heal, and restore us. This light is also given through us, as He sends us out to carry His true riches of light into our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
