"What has come into being in Him
was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." (John 1:3b-5 NRSV)
What might happen to us and within us
and among us if we were indeed to prepare our hearts and follow the star...?
We might begin to believe that the Light
will indeed shine in the darkness and that the darkness will never overcome it.
We might begin to know in our hearts that no darkness that we find ourselves in
is too dark for us after all, that the One who made us will come searching for
us again and again, choosing to come and be among us, choosing to share in that
darkness and to burst it apart with light and life and hope.
-- Robert Benson in The Night of the
Child (Nashville, Tenn.: Upper Room Books, 2001)
