Light of Christmas - Light of the World (pt 1)

Christmas for some may seem hopeless.  Hopelessness leads one to darkness.  In John 1:1-5 we learn that Jesus is the WORD.  The WORD is Creator, Light and the Child, God Incarnate.  It was this Child who said 'I am the Light of the world' and, ' Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life' and, I have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness'.  We need to fix our hope in Jesus.  Hope gives us reason to live, something to look forward to.
