There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
(John 1:6-9 ESV)
As John helps us see the "bigger picture" of Christmas, he helps us see The Light. He was there at creation, and has been shining forever - out there. But He was coming. For many, celebrating Christmas involves many lights - all over the tree, all over the house - everywhere we look. This may well lead to us missing The Light - the one who made light in the first place. Instead, this Christmas, let's make sure The Light, Jesus Christ, God the Son, has first place.
