Reflections

We began our Advent series with light. Jesus is the Light in the darkness.

On Christmas Eve we come back to that blazing light again. Jesus is the Light for the Nations.

What we desperately need in our darkness, God has given to us. He didn’t send a gift or a kind gesture, or well wishes, but He gave us Himself – Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

And Jesus is for the Nations – for all the families of the earth!

Simeon saw this newborn light when Jesus’ parents brought Him to the temple. He spoke of Jesus as glory for Abraham’s family, and a light for the Gentiles – all the other peoples outside Abraham’s family. Every people and tribe and tongue and nation – every man, woman, boy, and girl! No one is too blind or too sinful or too small for God to save. God makes dead hearts alive by the power of His Spirit because of the work of Jesus.

Hear and believe. Jesus is the Light, the Creator, the Rescuer, the Promise, the Lamb, the King, the Redeemer, The Shoot of Jesse, the Son of the Most High, Immanuel, the Bread of Life, the King of Kings, the Alpha and the Omega, the Lion and the Lamb, the Mediator of the New Covenant, the Prince of Peace, the Light of the World.

One day, there will be no need for any other light… no sun, no lamps, no candles. Jesus Himself will be our light and we will enjoy Him forever!

Lighting the Candles

We light the Christ candle, the center white candle, on Christmas Eve. The Light of the World overcomes darkness. Glory to God in the highest!

Neighbors & Nations

We are blessed to be a blessing. Whether near or far, God’s heart is to make His name known so people from every nation will worship Him.

What can our family do today to make God’s name known?
