Dear Friends,<br />
Christmas greetings. As I reflect on the Scriptures in John 8 where Jesus proclaimed<br />
that He is ‘the light of the world’, I see His Words in stark contrast to the present<br />
state of our world as many people continue to ignore His reality.<br />
As Christmas approaches, I’m sure people would prefer to be thinking of joy and<br />
peace, but instead there is growing sorrow and unrest across our world. From the<br />
global economic recession to increasing terrorist attacks and religious persecution,<br />
many people have become very concerned and even fearful for their personal safety<br />
and future security.<br />
Looking back to 2,000 years ago, the world was in such a hopeless state that there<br />
didn’t seem to be much future for mankind. Then<br />
a light came into the world in the form of a baby<br />
boy. A baby boy who would bring hope, life and<br />
light to a dark world with many needs.<br />
As you consider Jesus’ claims to be the light of<br />
the world and the light that leads to life, may you<br />
be amazed anew at His Majesty and Glory and<br />
the hope that is found in Him.<br />
