John 1:5 Overcoming Darkness (Part 3)
------------------------------
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
------------------------------
There is a moment in the Christmas candlelight service where we shut off all the lights.
The only illumination in the room is the Christ candle, burning on the altar.
As our eyes adjust I love to ask,
"What do you see? A room full of darkness?
Or one source of Light?"
In this strange year we have seen more than our share of shadows.
But what do you see?
A world full of darkness?
Or one eternal Light?
It all depends on where you look, doesn't it?
Don't focus on the darkness.
This year, more than ANY other, keep your eyes on the Light.
