“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness -- on them light has shined.” (Isaiah 9:2 NRSV)
It may come from a star. But somehow Christmas means seeing all of life in a new light. We live so much of our lives engulfed by the darkness of stumbling among the shadows of our selfishness. We live in a world beclouded by evil and hostility, by greed and hatred. Light means liberation! Light means freedom! Light means a new, better and brighter day! As people who walk so often in darkness, may we see a great light -- the light and splendor of Christmas.
Jesus 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 NIV)
-- Don G. Smith, from an article entitled “Musings on a Miracle”
