Have you ever been in pitch blackness? It's unnerving, even for short amounts of time. Then, when the light finally does come on, there's a profound and even existential relief. That's actually what Christmas is all about. We live in a dark world. And Jesus, the Light of the World, has come near to dispel the darkness and lift us into the bright glory of God's love and presence. This short Christmas Eve teaching is for anyone who feels the longing for hope and light, no matter the season!
