Christmas tells us that a light has come to pull us out of this darkness, to save us, and to bring us peace. The true story of Christmas is that the child promised by Isaiah has come into the world as Jesus of Nazareth. He is the light of the world (John 8:12), our only hope, and the only true peace we can find - peace with God (Romans 5:1) and peace in our hearts (John 14:27). As we approach Christmas Day this year, let the lights remind you to seek Jesus, to worship Him, and to make Him known. • How does the imagery of light in Isaiah 9:2-7 impact your understanding of Christmas and your worship of Jesus? • In what ways can you apply the concept of Jesus as the “Prince of Peace” to your life during this Advent season?
