Jesus Is the Light of the World

December 20  “Jesus Is the Light of the World” Christmas is the celebration of light piercing our darkness, God’s light, Jesus, coming to us to enlighten our lives. Jesus said I am the light of the world and instructs his followers, “You are the light of the world…Let your light shine before others.” Jesus came so that we would not live in darkness, and this why we call him the Light of the world. Scriptures: John 1:1-9; John 8:12 https://bit.ly/3kYgruh
