"The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world." - John 1:9
These words are a beautiful reminder of the universal promise of light that Christmas brings. Jesus, the true light, is not just for a select few but for all of humanity. His birth marked the moment when the world's darkness began to recede, making way for the dawn of a new era.
During this Advent season, we may reflect on the ways in which we've experienced darkness in our own lives, and we've all faced moments when we've longed for the light of hope to shine. In those times, remember that the true light, Jesus Christ, has come into the world, offering light and life to everyone.
Today, consider the people in your life and in the world who may be searching for this true light. Pray for their hearts to be touched by the transformative power of Christ's light, which brings hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Let us hold onto the promise of the true light that has come into the world, remembering that His light shines for all. And as we embrace this light, may we be bearers of His love, sharing it with those who are still searching.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the promise of the true light, Jesus Christ, who brings light to everyone. May we carry His light in our hearts and share it with those who are in need. In His name, we pray. Amen.
