We take light for granted because it’s always around, but the image and figurative use of light as God’s glorious presence involved in the world is in fact, a stunning marvel. Light is what we celebrate at Christmas. God is the source of light. Jesus Christ is the light that brings life. We are the light that spreads the life of Jesus on this earth. And in a dark world, our place is to walk in light. That’s the Christmas rhythm to the song of the angels, “Peace on earth, good will towards all people.”
