12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘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
Toward the end of Advent we marked the winter solstice, when the darkness stops taking over our days and light begins to reappear. It also coincided with the Blue Christmas worship that we held at All Saints. Other churches have similar worship times, as a way to remember the losses that we have experienced, and to acknowledge that often the holidays are a mixed bag of emotion.
Now, we are reminded of Jesus' words and promise as the light of the world -- and the light of life. Even in our darkest moments, Jesus is there, shining forth for us, lighting our way.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
