#495: The Light of Christmas

December 25, 2021 • Loren Hicks

The Big Idea:

Wherever you find yourself this Christmas Day, I invite you into the light. I invite you to experience the wonder of the birth of the Savior. The same God who spoke light into existence at Creation has sent His Son as the light of the world.

Main Points:

1. From Creation, the Bible leads us through the story of humanity’s progression from the light of God’s perfection to the darkness of man’s fall and then through generations and centuries of waiting for the dawn of the day when the Messiah would bring the light of restoration.
2. Two thousand years ago, on what we now call the first Christmas, a light was born It was a truly wondrous night!
3. In a world full of darkness, Jesus is the light we are searching for. The greatest Christmas gift you could ever receive is a relationship with God. We discover it by placing our faith in Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Savior and Lord.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Genesis 1:3-5 - “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” And then “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day,’ and the darkness he called ‘night.’ And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day”

2 Corinthians 4:6 tells us, “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
