Through December, we are surrounded by lights casting out the gloom. They are a necessity when you can wake up in complete darkness but they also bring their own sense of joy. Strings of fairy lights and shop window displays try to put a bright spin on a gloomy (and apparently foggy) season.
In Luke 8 it says – “no one who lights a lamp would hide it in a jar or under their bed, they would put it on a stand to get the best effect!” This Christmas lets share the wonderful light of Jesus with those around us. We have a light that we want to share but it is our decision how we present this light and put it in a place that shines everywhere.
Don’t forget to invite your friends and neighbours to the great Christmas events happening through December and Alpha in January.
