Light of the world

Whilst growing increasingly unhappy about the continuing commercialisation of the Christmas period, and all of its associated hype, I confess to enjoying the displays of special lighting that grace so many of our streets and homes at this time. There's something about them that "gladdens the heart". They are bright; they are beautiful; they are colourful. As Peter May reminds us in today's brief Advent video-message, Jesus is "the Light of the world" - and He brings illumination, beauty, and even colour, into the lives of those who place their trust in Him.
