“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.”  Isaiah 60:1
 
“The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.”  Isaiah 9:2
 
Gloriously we have this revelation in Luke 2:27-32,
“…When the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, then he (Simeon) took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, ‘Now LORD, Thou dost let Thy bond-servant depart in peace, according to Thy word; For my eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou has prepared in the presence if all peoples, A LIGHT OF THE REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, and the glory of Thy people Israel.’”  (Read the whole account Luke 2:1-40)
 
It is Christ who is the light of the world!
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”  John 1:4
 
“Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.’”  
John  8:12
 
“For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine in darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”  
2 Corinthians 4:6
   
The following is in part a song we sing in our Fellowship:
   “Light of the world You stepped down into darkness,
    Opened my eyes let me see.
    Beauty that made this heart adore You,
    Hope of a life spent with You.”
  
  The chorus says,
  “So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
   Here I am to say the You’re my God.
   For You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether
   Wonderful to me.”
 
   “Light of the world you stepped down into darkness,
    Opened my eyes let me see!”
 
Jesus, The Christ, was born and He brought life and light to a dead dark world.  Oh, let us give Him glory all you Beloved of God for it is only right that He has all honor and praise.  He alone is worthy!!!
Amen
