The shepherds told Mary and Joseph about all that they experienced on the hills of Bethlehem and we’re told “Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.” Luke 2:19. Imagine what was going on in her mind! She had known about Jesus for nine full months but she was still “pondering” them? Yes. She was pondering how amazing the truth of Jesus really was. We ponder “all these things” tonight too! God light brought to the world that night! God presented His love, His light to us in Jesus!

Today, in our “God’s Light” sermon series, we encounter one of the more loved characters in the Christ-story, namely, the shepherds. But what do the shepherds tell us about the “Christ-story” and about “God’s Light”? This familiar part of the Christ-story reminds us that God’s love and God’s light is for everyone, not just a select few. The brilliant light of heaven which split the darkness that night on the hills of Bethlehem, was a wonderful image of God’s love splitting the darkness in the lives of all people..including people like you and me. “God’s Light Presented” reminds us that God’s love is presented to us!

As we consider “God’s Light” in this Advent Season, we’re amazed that in Jesus God came to earth. Let’s say that again...in Jesus, God who is Light...came...to earth! Why though? Why did God come to us? There is no passage that proclaims the answer to those questions better than Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost.” Said according to our sermon series, God came to shine light on those who are living in darkness. Amazing. He came to seek us in the dark. Amazing grace. He came to save us and bring us into the light. Amazing love. Amazing light. God’s Light! “God’s Light Proclaimed.”
