THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HAS COME

Scripture: Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sin.”

     Christ, the Light of the world, has come. He has come: the Revealer of the snares and chasms that lurk in darkness, the Rebuker of every evil thing that prowls by night; the Stiller of the stormy winds of passion; the Quickener of all that is wholesome; the Adorner of all that is beautiful; the Reconciler of contradictions, the Harmonizer of discords, the Healer of diseases, the Savior from sin. He has come.
     He's the Torch of truth, the Anchor of hope, the Pillar of faith, the Rock for strength, the Refuge for security, the Fountain for refreshment, the Vine for gladness, the Rose for beauty, the Lamb for tenderness, the Friend for counsel, and the Brother for love. Yes, Jesus Christ has come--and the trace of His Divine footsteps will never be obliterated.
     "He stepped from the measureless eons of eternity, into the confinements of time and space.
     He laid aside the shining garments of glory, to be clothed in the flesh of a helpless infant.
     He left the immortal fragrances of Heaven, for a world sick with the scent of mortality.
     He turned His back on gem-studded mansions, to live where He had no place to lay His head.
     He waved aside the Father's loving smile, to walk with men who spit upon Him.
     He closed the gates to Heaven's courts, to stand accused while Pilate washed his hands.
     He descended the ethereal battlements on high, to climb a hill called Golgotha.
     He replaced creations causative voice, with a voice that cried, "Father forgive them."
     He gave up Heaven's deathless climate, for the airlessness of Joseph's tomb.
     And then, when all was finished, as He had said, He stepped back into the measureless eons of eternity."
     Christ has loved us savingly; He will love us continually. He died to redeem us. He lives to crown us. He is the Hope of the whole world.
