It
is fitting that we surround our celebration of Christmas with light, there was
much light at the original Christmas, from the brightness of the angles
speaking to the shepherds, to the star which guided the magi. The prologue of the Gospel of John also
speaks of the light of Christmas, John calls Jesus, “the true light that gives
light to every man”. Humanity was living
in darkness, Jesus brought the light with him because he was the light. During his lifetime, the light of Jesus was
clearly visible to those who knew him, but after his departure back to the
Father, what light was left among men?
The light of Christ now shines forth through his people, with the power
of the Holy Spirit, to likewise illuminate a dark world and let the truth of
God’s love be known. It is indeed
fitting to celebrate light at Christmas, that is a light everyone needs, and
the people of God must share.
