Christmas Eve: The Light of the World

 Advent: Isaiah's Prophetic Promises

Darkness has a way of getting our attention. When the lights go out, we realize just how much we were depending on them. And in the middle of the world’s darkness, God kept a promise.

Isaiah foretold a great light shining in the darkness, a promise fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. On Christmas Eve, we reflect on how Christ enters our darkness not just to reveal it, but to overcome it. Jesus is the Light of the World, breaking through sin, fear, and uncertainty, and offering hope where it’s most needed.

This Christmas Eve message invites us to consider where we need light in our own lives, and how the light of Christ continues to guide us today.
