Imagine the scene in Bethlehem two thousand years ago. It was the night of nights, and yet it had begun as every other night had before it. But it was to become the greatest, most significant night of history. This was the night that would conquer darkness and bring in the day when there would be no more night. There was the night when those who sat in darkness would see a great light. This was the night God brought into the world the One who is “the light of the world.” May His light shine in your life [and through your life] this year!
