Scripture for your meditation in December
John 8, 9 and Psalm 119
“Christ is the light of the world.” That is one of our major thoughts and themes this advent season. It is also why we light candles in our worship.
In our Wednesday Advent readings, we will spend some time in 1st John. John the apostle often talks about how Christ is our light in his both first epistle and his gospel.
Take some time to review the chapters above, to see how Christ is the light of the world.
What does Jesus being the light tell me about God?
What does Jesus being the light change about my life?
For what does Jesus being the light lead me to pray?
