Celebrating Christmas in the Light of Christ

Posted on by The Message Bearer

Dearly beloved,

As we approach the joyous season of Christmas, let us reflect on the profound symbolism of light in our celebrations. In the Gospel of John 8:12, Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” This Christmas, let our decorations echo this divine truth.

In 1 John 1:5, the apostle John further emphasizes, “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” Our Christmas lights can serve as a radiant reminder that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, dispels the darkness in our lives.

In Colossians 1:13, Paul shares, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.” The lights we adorn represent our transition from darkness to the Kingdom of light, a testimony of our faith in Jesus Christ.

So, let the glow of the lights in our homes and church symbolize the eternal light brought into the world through the birth of our Lord and Savior. As we celebrate, may our hearts be aglow with the love and salvation found in Jesus, the true light of the world.

Wishing you a blessed and illuminated Christmas season.

In Christ’s love

Hi, I’m Cornelius Bella. Welcome to My Corner of the Internet. I’m a Christian writer, blogger, and lifelong seeker of Biblical truth. At CorneliusBella.blog, I share reflections, revelations, and real-life stories shaped by faith, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a deep hunger for God’s presence. For me, spirituality isn’t a Sunday activity—it’s the heartbeat of everyday life. I believe God’s presence is not just a theological concept but a living, breathing reality we can experience moment by moment. One of my guiding prayers is this: “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s presence—and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself to Him.” If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. On my blog, I write about prayer, meditation, surrender, gratitude, and the kind of faith that transforms not just what we believe, but how we live. I explore how spiritual principles can help us navigate pain, find purpose, and live with deeper joy—even in the middle of life’s uncertainties. But more than that, I write to connect. To build a community of believers who are hungry for more of God. Who want to grow, not just in knowledge, but in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who are tired of surface-level religion and ready to live from the inside out. So whether you’re wrestling with big questions or just looking for encouragement to keep walking by faith—I’d love for you to join the journey. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and let’s grow together in grace, truth, and the joy of God’s presence. Let’s live fully surrendered. Let’s walk by faith. Let’s seek Him—daily.
