It is a dark world, so let Christ’s love shine through you, reminding this world that he is the Light.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and every year after Christmas, I always feel a little sad when Ken gets out the ladder and takes down the lights. At night, I always enjoy coming up the road and rounding the corner and, “Oh, look at those lights – isn’t that beautiful?” It’s curious how light is so connected with joy, and life, and hope and beauty. Bring just a little light into the darkness, and it’s amazing how it illumines everything. Colossians 1 touches on this where it says, “[We give] thanks to the Father, who has qualified [us] to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness.” Oh friend, it is a dark world out there. There is so much heartache, so much despair. But our confidence in Christ can illumine everything around us. So please do not take down your lights. Let his love shine and remind this world that Jesus – the Light – is the source of all joy and hope.
