In a dark and uncertain world there is a place we can find the Light of a Love that restores our hope and gives birth to life-giving faith. This is a Light that scatters the darkest night and a Love that shatters our deepest fears. The Light of this love is not found in Wall Street's great commercial centers, or in Washington's halls of political power, nor even in the glare of Hollywood's glitz. It is found in an unimpressive town called Bethlehem and an unlikely manger filled with hay. It is found in the faith of an unwed mother and the devotion of her betrothed husband from Galilee. It is found in the angelic message of a heavenly host and the reverent visit of unkempt shepherds. It is found in the shining of a wandering star and in the priceless gifts of exotic kings. This Christmas season we will be celebrating the Light of Love that has come into the world through the birth of Jesus! During the four weeks after Christmas we will follow the theme of light and darkness as it appears in John's account of Jesus' encounters and teachings. We will see how the Light of Jesus' love impacts a religious scholar, an adulterous woman, a man born blind, and a man laid dead in a tomb. From all these encounters we will ask God to shine the light of Jesus' love in our lives to scatter darkness and help us to be light in this world.
