This was our first time celebrating the winter solstice thanks to Suzanne who saw it as an opportunity to celebrate Christ as the main Light. On this first day of winter we experienced the shortest day in the year and the longest night. But after this day the days will grow longer and the nights will grow shorter. Light will overcomes the darkness.
This is a great reminder of John 1:5
"...the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”
and Jesus' words in John 8;12-30.
On this day we observed a candlelight service to commemorate the triumph of light over darkness that happened through Jesus Christ. One thing I know for sure is that you can’t appreciate the light until you’ve first felt and known the darkness. Christ is like a candle that dispel the darkness.
That’s the condition behind having this
Light— we are invited to walk in the light, to bear the light, and to take the light into the world. But if we choose not to follow Him, we will not have this
light, this truth, this eternal life.This was a special day for me.The Light representing Jesus himself |
You are the light of my life
Hope of the earth
My Jesus"
