The True Light Sent From God - John 1:9
written by: Rev. Catherine M. Miller
May you allow the Light’s gentle Presence to relieve wounds
of regret; loneliness, failure; and festering pain.
May you turn to the Light to revive your faith
if ever it becomes stale or mundane.
And when voice of enemies, Denial and Doubt, convince you that
the Light is foolishness and fantasy ─
May Christmas remind you that The Light is the Truth!
The Gift sent from God to enable all people to clearly see.
The Light secures our peace, of this Christians are persuaded.
For sure the Light’s Supreme authority can never be debated!
-
“Simeon took the child in His arms and praised God saying,
…my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the presence of all
peoples, a light for revelation to the gentiles and
for glory to your people Israel.” Luke 2:28-32
The Light of the World Is Jesus
verses 1 &2 of hymn composed by Philip P. Bliss
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Refrain: Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!
No darkness have we who in Jesus abide;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
We walk in the light when we follow our Guide!
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Wishing you an overflow of Christmas Light!
May the grace of our Lord quiet any fear with the reassurance of Immanuel - God with Us!
Merry Christmas!
