Introduction
Thanks Ross.
As Ross stated when we think about Christmas we think about Gifts.
But another thing we all think about is light
there are Tv shows, competations about christmas lights
We drive around to see lights
even right outside of where we are meeting tonight there is a tinsel trail of Christmas trees decroated by lights.
light is always intended to reveal something.
If you think about times in your life you have needed a flashlight the purpose wasn’t to look directly into the flashlight.
In fact we are told not to look at the flashlight.
We use a flash light to show us our way.
It reveals where we need to go
So when thinking about the birth of Jesus we can see that light has dawned.
in Isaiah 9:1-8
and when Jesus was born there was a star lighting the way to reveal his birth and he said about himself
so what does the light of Jesus reveal?
The first thing the light of Jesus reveals is there is darkness in the world.
It’s something we know and something the people in the day of Christ knew
but before Jesus people had adjust to the darkness.
It wasn’t until the light of Christ dawned that they could realize just how dark the world was
and has the light comes we realize we have a need.
We need help
this light wasn’t something developed
it’s actually something discovered
that’s what light at christmas reminds us of
that to be saved, to be rescued from our darkness we need hep
it’s beyond us
it’s God interveing.
Erupting into our situion to bring us light from the outside
yes thihngs are dark.
Everyone in the world there is darkness and if we keep looking to the world for salvaiton and rescue things just get darker
but when you see Jesus as the light of the world he begins to reveal what we need the most
we need his love
and the light of Christ shows the world is a world God loves
So much that he sent his son
the light of christ shows we are people who need to be saved and God loves to save
and the light of chrisghts enlightens everything, and everyone
it shows us the relaity of our sin and our need for a savior
and the good news of the gospel is the light of the world Goes to the cross and defeats death and sin once and for all
its why Paul wrote this in
Take light out of box
turn it on if you haven’t
and allow that light to remind you of the light that has dawned for you
let that light symbolize the light of Christ
and be reminded of
The love of Christ
The mercy of Christ
and the love of Christ
Let’s pray
