SCRIPTURE
John 9:4
When I am in the world I am the light of the world.
This verse comes in the middle of a passage in which Jesus heals a man blind from birth, and we are shown a glimpse of the life that comes from faith in Christ.
We all long for spiritual illumination and moral vision. This longing is with us always, but it is especially strong as we approach the stable where God becomes human and dwells among us.
The light of the star leads us to the manger where we acknowledge our need and our desire for communion with God. May we have the grace to follow this light as we continue to work toward God’s kingdom on earth.
