Christmas is less than two weeks away. You may be “not even started,” “all done!” or somewhere in between. But wherever you are in that process, it’s not too late to take some time to focus on Who we celebrate. And I want to help.
MY GIFT TO YOU – A CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
I know your list is long and the days are short, so I’ve put together a mini-devotional that will quickly guide you through a short Bible reading, a truth to consider, and a prayer to voice. These eight days focus on the Light of Christmas.
Ive been thinking a lot recently about the truth that Jesus is the Light of the World. In fact, this very morning I am at a women’s Christmas event teaching on this very thing. In his Gospel, John declared that Jesus is “the true light, which gives light to everyone.” Jesus came to bring the light of salvation to a very dark world.
I love that light is such an integral part of Christmas. The lights on our trees, our homes, and more all remind us of the “True light” (John 1:9). Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12) who offers life to all people. This dark world certainly needs the light and life of Jesus right now.
