Deck the Halls With Lights

DECEMBER 12, 2020

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 8:12

 Recommended Reading: Matthew 5:14

One of the most famous Christmas trees in the world is the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in New York City. The tree is anywhere from 69 to 100 feet tall and covered with 50,000 LED lights. These lights are a far cry from the lights that adorned the first Christmas trees in Germany: candles attached to tree limbs with melted wax. When electricity became available in the late nineteenth century, electric lights slowly replaced the candles and small lanterns used for centuries.

Regardless of the kind of lighting, Christmas trees have always displayed lights. Why? Originally lights to illuminate dark houses in the dead of winter were a welcome source of cheer. But for Christians, the reason was obvious: to celebrate the birth of Christ who came as the Light of the World (John 1:3-9). As Simeon declared when seeing the infant Jesus, “A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel” (Luke 2:32).

Be the light of Christ in your world as you celebrate Christmas this year. His light dispels all darkness wherever it shines forth.
