Yeah! Monday the first of December! We have Christmas time; the season has arrived! The birth of Christ, wise men, Mary and Joseph, Zachariah and Elizabeth, a rejoicing John the Baby Baptist, the angel Gabriel, shepherds in the fields, and all that makes Christmas so special. Christmas is a time of rejoicing in Christ. In the darkest time of the year shine the brightest of lights. Isaiah wrote:
The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined. (9:2 NKJV)
Isaiah wrote hundreds of years before the coming of the Christ child that a people walking in darkness would see the great light of Christ. David wrote that he would not fear even when walking the land of death's shadow. Isaiah promised more: a light shining in that darkness of death. We live in a world of darkness often shadowed by death. Yet, in the heart of every Christ-one shines the light of Jesus.
Merry Christmas!Bucky
