2016 Christmas Music Marathon - Day 10

The Christmas season brings a celebration of light. Many cities decorate their buildings and public spaces with lights. Many individuals, including myself, spend several hours or days hanging colored lights on our homes. These lights shine in the night and are meant bring to bring a little joy into the hearts of those who see see them. The confirmation comes when families spend an evening driving by the lighted displays and smiles adorn each face. On a cold winters night, in the city of David, God gave us His Son. By His grace, through our faith, Christ has said of His followers, "You are the light of the world." (Matt. 5:14) The Light that shines in us is Jesus because, "...there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Have a blessed day.

 

2012 Christmas Music Marathon Day 10

Man is an inquisitive sort.  It seems like we are always looking for the answers to something.  We want to know how things work.  We want to know why things are the way they are.  We want to know why people do what they do.  We are constantly seeking the truth.  Unfortunately we often don't recognize the truth when we see it because it doesn't conform to the answer we believe to be correct. We are not always looking for the truth, merely validation of our opinion.  There is a difference.  The "Truth" does not require you to believe it, in order for it to be true.  The "Truth" is the truth, whether you believe it or not.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6.  This emphatically answers the question, are there multiple ways to get to heaven?  The answer is no.  That is the truth.  You can choose to believe otherwise, but it doesn't change the truth.  This Christmas season, if you are looking for answers to life and your purpose in this life, I pray that you will turn to the light of this world, Jesus.  I pray that you can say, "I Have Seen The Light".  Enjoy.
