The Darkness

Darkness can be scary. Children fear it, and if we’re honest, adults do too. It’s not only the physical darkness we dread, but the spiritual and emotional darkness caused by the evil in our world and the brokenness in our own hearts. The good news is that God Himself stepped into that darkness in the person of Jesus Christ. At Christmas, we celebrate more than a baby in a manger—we celebrate the eternal Word, the Creator, the Life-giver, the Light who entered our world to push back the darkness. Jesus is the light of the world, shining hope where we need it most. When we turn to Jesus and confess our sins, we step into the light. God sees your darkness, and He sends His Light.
