The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep
darkness – on them light has shined. (Isaiah 9:2) Prophecy made 700 years before the birth of
Jesus came true on the Christmas night.
These words were spoken long ago to people living in anxiety, fear, and despair, people
feeling bereft of security, safety, and any sense of God’s presence. We hear them early
on Christmas, forgetting that they were first spoken hundreds of years before the birth we
celebrate. Human beings across this planet still yearn to know that a more gracious and divine
reality is active and evident in our lives.
The birth of Jesus we celebrate is meant for this world mired in darkness and fear, hunger and
cold, the rubble of hurricane and earthquake, in the demeaning of chronic poverty, behind
prison bars. Those who search in dark and despair, in dank dungeon and deep devastation,
will find divine light given for the world. Light that will not be put out, so long as any creature
remains to receive it, until and beyond the end of time. The darkness will never put it out. The
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.( Jn 1:5)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He
was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not
anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it…. He true light that enlightens
every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through
him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home and his own people received
him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become
children of God.” (Jn 1:1-5; 9-12) Jesus said. “I am the light of the world; he who follows me
will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jn 8:12) How true the words of ―
C.S. Lewis “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see
it, but because by it I see everything else.” Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life.” (Jn 14:6) Asatoma Sadgamaya; Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya; Mritoma Amrutham Gamaya.
May Jesus who came to lead human kind to walk in the path of truth may lead you from
untruth to truth; May Jesus the light of the world lead you from darkness to light; May Jesus
who came to give his life for the salvation of human kind, lead you from death to life.
Go and look – and discover the love of God poured into our world in human form. And
rejoice, for light of the world is born in our midst! The prophecy was fulfilled "Behold, the
virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which
means "God is with us." We need not grope in darkness of ignorance, hatred, pride, anger,
revenge, retaliation and indifference. We need only to surrender to him and follow his
teachings. His words are spirit and life. (Jn 6:63) May Jesus, the Light of the World be your
guiding light amidst the encircling gloom and enlighten each day of 2013 so that you may
spread his light and sunshine to everyone you meet. Merry Christmas.
