In this Christmas reflection, we delve into the profound mystery of God incarnate, Jesus, who came to bring light and hope into our darkest moments. The Christmas story, set in the darkness of night, symbolizes Jesus' mission to bring light into our lives. The prophet Isaiah foretold this great light, emphasizing that Jesus entered our darkness to bring justice and righteousness. Darkness often holds hidden gifts, and it is in our darkest times that we become most attuned to the light of Jesus. He meets us in our pain, suffering, and struggles, offering comfort and the promise of eternal life. Revelation paints a picture of ultimate peace in God's presence, where Jesus, the bright and morning star, brings wholeness even in our darkest times. This Christmas, let us invite Jesus into our darkest places and embrace His light, allowing Him to illuminate our lives and bring us hope and peace.
This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
