Vital signs- Friday December 8th, 2023

In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. With the word of his power, God illuminates the darkness. John uses the story of creation to tell us about the coming of Jesus. In the same way that God spoke a bright light into existence, God was sending another light into the darkness. Jesus is coming as the light of the world to illuminate our hearts. Like a candle at night, He is going to reveal all that is in the darkness and then bring His people into the light. This is good news for people in darkness. Sin and corruption are reigning. People are rejecting God and worshiping other idols. Many refuse the wisdom of the Lord and follow their own ways blindly. But the true light will come into the world and expose their evil, wicked and selfish hearts. Jesus will shine His light into the world so that many can see their sin exposed in the light and follow Jesus back to the Father. Then one dark Christmas night, the light was born. Jesus had come.

“to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
