Text: Isaiah 9:1-7
One of the most common enjoyments of the Christmas season is the various light displays that we see everywhere – in our homes, churches, street corners, and parade floats. While these may be enjoyable, the lights are only temporary. In time they fade, lose their luster, blow their fuses, and become ineffective. These twinkling lights have only a temporary use, but there is a true Light that never fades, never dims, and never loses its power. This true Light is the reason that we celebrate Christmas. This Light has a name - Jesus. Jesus is The Light of the world that we celebrate every day, and especially at Christmas. This message explains an oft-forgotten prophecy about the true Light and reveals how Jesus alone is the long-awaited promised Light from God.
