December 22, 2017 - BEHOLD THE LIGHT


Day 356 - Nahum & Revelation 13

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5 ESV)

BEHOLD THE LIGHT is the theme of our Advent and Christmas worship services and sermons this year at St. Paul’s.

In the selected verse for today, John points us to Jesus, and in effect says BEHOLD THE LIGHT. Jesus stands out in stark contrast to the rest of this sin-darkened world. The reason for “Joy to the World” is because the Babe of Bethlehem is the light sent from God the Father to overcome the darkness in your life.

As you finish your preparations for Christmas, please remember what it is all about. Jesus came to brighten your life with His forgiveness, His comfort and His promise of heaven.

Dearest Lord Jesus, please shine Your joy and peace into my heart and life so that I may BEHOLD YOUR LIGHT anew this year.  And then, please shine through me to others. Amen.

Pastor David Paape
