Light'em Up!
Lights are a cheerful part of our Christmas celebration. Everywhere we go our eyes are drawn to them. Walk into a dark room and your eyes are drawn to the candle on the table. The brightness of the Lord's light draws people to Himself. The neighbors and the nations come as we proclaim His Marvelous Light and walk in it.
Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises on you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises on you and His glory appears over you. On earth: day & night; light & darkness; on earth: good & evil.
Isaiah 9:1-2 There will be no more gloom for those who were in distress... people walking in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the shadow of death a light has dawned. (Mt. 4:15-16)
John 8:12 Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Come to the Light, shining for thee;
Sweetly the light dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I see.
Its' not the food, the gift or tree.
Jesus you are Lighting my world.
That's what the shepherds did (Luke 2:8-11);
That's what the Magi, the wise men, did. They look up and followed the Star. (Matthew 2:1-2)
That's what Stephen the martyr did as he was being stoned to death.
He looked up and gazed intently into heaven. Then he saw the glory of God. (Acts 7:55-56)
Jesus came as a baby and He rules as the Light of the world.
In these troubled times, we are on solid ground because He came.
John 12:36 Put your trust in the Light while you have it that you may become sons of the light.
Isa. 60:3 Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of you rising. Mat. 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. Don’t hide it!
The greatest miracle God does today is take an unholy man from an unholy world, make him holy, put him back into an unholy world and keep him holy. Leonard Ravenhill

- When I am angry;
- When I am hurt;
- When I don't understand;
- When there is injustice;
- When I am afraid of the future;
- When I do everything right and it turns out wrong;
There is a Light to turn to if I just look up.

- He was full of the Holy Spirit. Do I want a bucks worth or a full tank?
- He was intentional. Will I come to the Light or flee from it? John 3:18-21
