That’s the way it is with darkness. It disappears in the presence of light. The only way to miss it is to close your eyes. Which is what most people do.
In John 1:5 it reads that “God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all.” Those who walk with Jesus walk in the light of His presence. The light transforms their life because the blood of Jesus cleanse them from sin. Jesus life is the light of all.
The Apostle John physically walked, talked and touched Jesus in a way that we cannot. But those who walk in this light by obeying God leave the realm of darkness and begin to reflect God’s characteristics of goodness, righteousness, and truth. This fellowship with God produces a great inner joy despite the circumstances around them.
Sadly there are people who choose to close their eyes to God’s light. The darkness has blinded them to the truth. They love gloomy and obscurity because it allows them to them to stay hidden and not be exposed. Many people miss so much. They have no fellowship with God and refuse the inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom. The result is them trying to make sense of a messed up world.
Light and darkness represent the difference between those who are God’s children and those who are not. The Christmas Season is a perfect time to reflect on these truths. Jesus, the Son of God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. So, as you find yourself navigating through the short gloomy days of winter solstice keep your eyes open.
Jesus is really the Brightest Christmas Light Ever.
