Advent Week 1

Isaiah 9:1-7, John 1:1-18 | The prophet Isaiah spoke to people living in exile, surrounded by darkness and despair. He promised them a light was coming that would break through their gloom. That light was Jesus. We decorate our homes with lights each Christmas for a reason. As darkness arrives earlier each evening and winter's gloom settles in, we're drawn to light. But the lights on our trees and in our yards point to something deeper - the Light of the World who came for us.
