‘When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”’ (John 8:12)
All this week, pour yourself into the certain knowledge of the coming of Christ into the world.
Thank God that the Incarnation, and everything it means to humanity, inspires millions around the world to dedicate their lives to Christ – even when they face terrible injustices because of their beliefs.
Light a candle one evening this week. If it’s safe to do so, turn off the other lights in the room, and spend some time looking into the flame and meditating on how the light pushes back the darkness. Give thanks for the coming of Christ, the Light of the World.
Pray for people around the world whose belief in Christ puts them in danger, and pray that the light of justice would continue to push back the darkness of injustice.
