A Light Has Dawned

BEHOLD, a great light has come into the world! Deep darkness surrounds the people of the nations. It’s the season to celebrate the coming of the light sourced from only One—Divine, eternal, all-powerful. The only true light, for all other lights are merely a dim reflection of its Presence.

No one else can claim to be the Source of this light, but only its carriers. Carrying the light does not make one a little “god,” no. We are not made holy of our own doing neither are we sanctified of our own works. No one can claim to be “good,” but only the One, the Father, the Creator of all things. Apart from Him we have no good thing.

The great light was come into the world through the babe Jesus, the gift of God for salvation of all mankind, to be received in thanksgiving and awe. For if we catch that pure gift from heaven above in our bare hands and hold it close to our feeble hearts, in faith, we believe in the Holy One of God and are saved. This gift has eternal weight, and no price tag could ever be placed upon it. Hold onto it to your last dying breath.

“The people walking in great darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” Isaiah 9:2
