“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”  John 8:12

Lights are an important symbol of the meaning of Christmas. Jesus entered this world to be the Light in the darkness, and God created the original Light show.  After all, the angels appeared to the shepherds, and whenever angels appear they often have this dazzling array around them.  And then there was the star over Bethlehem that the wise men were drawn to.  We’re always drawn to the Light.

So the next time you go driving around looking at the lights, remember the coming of Jesus, “the Light of the world.”
