The HillsSample

Before Jesus came to Earth, the people were living in a state of figurative darkness. They had been for a long time. For thousands of years, they waited for a savior. Hard times came, and they waited. Challenges came, and they waited. Loved ones passed, and they waited. Struggles persisted, and they waited. Until finally, the light came again. Not just any light but the light they were waiting for. The light of the world. The light was most definitely worth the wait. As followers of Jesus today, we live on the other side of this light. We don’t have to know a life lived waiting on its arrival. Instead, we can embrace it now and let it lead us toward God’s best for us, both today and in the future.

This week, take time to read a little more about Jesus’ arrival to the world and His ministry on Earth, which is recorded in the book of John. As you do, consider the ways you see Jesus’ light and life-changing things for the people who lived then and for you still today.
