Light, Peace, & Hope for Your ChristmasPrøve

# The True Light Has Come > John 1:8-15 \- John himself was not the light; he was only a witness to the light . The one who is the true light , who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world. But although the world was made through Him, the world didn’t recognize Him when He came. Even in His own land and among His own people, He was not accepted. But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan -- this rebirth comes from God. So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father. John pointed Him out to the people. He shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming who is far greater than I am, for He existed long before I did.’” The wait would be over soon. The true Light was approaching. The same One, who once came as a babe in Bethlehem, will one day return. This is good news! This message would be the answer for all mankind. We have the answer to the world’s problems, and the answer is Jesus. He was the answer then and He is still the answer today. Do you acknowledge that truth about Jesus? Then, can you reflect Him accurately to this world? ### Pray today that the message of His birth would result in rebirth for someone you really care about. Written by Inga-Lill Guzik.
