December 17 Evening Meditation: On Them Has Light Shone
As the winter's chill sets in, it can often bring feelings of despair and darkness. Yet, the beacon of the divine light of Christ dispels our gloom. In our evening Candlelight Service meditation, we see this move from darkness to divine light and consider how the light of Christmas calls us to action.
Consider these questions as you listen to this meditation:
1. How does the imagery of darkness and light in this passage from Isaiah resonate with our human experiences of darkness, both in the physical world and in our spiritual lives? How does the coming of Jesus as the "light of the world" bring hope and comfort to those living in spiritual darkness?
2. The passage mentions the idea of passing on the light of Christ, symbolized by the candlelight service. How can believers effectively share the light of Christ with others in a world that often feels overwhelmed by darkness and despair? What practical steps can be taken to spread the message of hope found in Jesus?
3. The text highlights the promise of the Messiah as a source of great joy and hope. How does the celebration of Christmas serve as a reminder of this promise and the fulfillment of God's plan to bring light into the world? In what ways can the joy of the Christmas season be shared with others to point them toward the true source of joy, Jesus Christ?
