Nothing brightens up the holiday season like decorative lights. Every year, beautiful lights begin to take their rightful place within the seasonal landscape. From trees, to homes, to city walkways… it seems like everyone makes the same commitment to brighten up the darkness by simply hanging a few lights.
It’s a tradition that poses an interesting dynamic for believers, because unfortunately, we can get so swept up in the holiday season that we find ourselves more committed to hanging lights than we are to actually being lights!
As such, there’s no better way to approach the Christmas season than to allow the lights of the season to remind us of the light of salvation. If we remember our gospel responsibility, then it becomes easier to see the vast opportunity that the holiday season provides to actually become Christmas lights.
