2:19: “The ‘shortest’ day of the year, as you call it. The least amount of My sunlight. Is the day really ‘short?’ Has it less than 24 hours? The difference is its Light. It’s harder to wake up in the morning when it is dark. Early darkness at the end of the day makes you feel ready to sleep before it’s time. Light – or lack of it – rules your body.

“My Son Is LIGHT. In the chaotic void of earth He spoke, “Light BE.” And Light WAS. My words and Commandments bring Light that show the way in which you should walk. My Light rules man and nature. The animals move and live according to My Light. Light dispels darkness without fail. The greater the darkness, the greater glows even the smallest light.

“Mankind was created to live in Light. Without the sun, the body lacks needed nutrients. Plants grow by light. Their stems and leaves even turn toward light. Light warms the body and soul. Light – or lack of it – affects emotions.

“Light RULES. Even the definition of darkness is ‘the absence of light.’

“My Son was born to earth as the Light of the World. In Him there is no darkness at all. Through Him, Man has Light of soul and body. My Son – the Light – RULES. Without Him the soul dwells in darkness.

“Light brings sight, clarity. Even your word for sudden understanding is enLIGHTenment. Mankind loves the Light, joys and plays in the sunlight. There is no LIFE without Light.

“There is no Life without My Son. Yet many reject Him and choose to live in darkness. Where is the sense in this? Where is the joy, the singing of soul, the understanding of the mind?

“Angels lit up the sky at night to announce the birth of My Son. A special Star of Light led men from afar to Him. At the moment of His death on the cross, the very sun fled. The first sighting of Him after His resurrection came with dawn.

“Jesus, your Savior, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Your decorations for Christmas are lights. Lights bring beauty. My SON IS beauty. My Son IS THE LIGHT OF YOUR WORLD. I sent Him to earth – for YOU.

“Merry CHRISTmas.”

Notes:

Genesis 1:1-3: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Colossians 1:16: For by Him [Jesus Christ] all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 

Psalm 104:19-23: He made the moon for the seasons; the sun knows the place of its setting. You appoint darkness and it becomes night, in which all the beasts of the forest prowl about. The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. When the sun rises they withdraw and lie down in their dens. Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.

John 8:12: Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Luke 2:8-14: And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Matthew 2:1-2: Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

Matthew 15:33-37: At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

Jon 20:1-3, 11-14: Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb…Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there…

John 1:1-5:  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
