About finding God in the form of the Christ-child…

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (NIV)

As we move forward in our history, the darkness in our world seems to grow ever larger. In the darkness, we get lost. We cannot find our way through life. Attacks by satanic evil come at us and we forget about our Savior. There are days we cannot find ourselves or find God. However, God the Father gave us a way to find Him two thousand years ago. If we want to find God, all we need to do is look at the Christ-child in the manger.

The story of the birth of Christ will endure until He comes back again. In a godless world where most of mankind seemingly has no inkling as to the power, majesty, or the existence of our God, Christ was sent to us as The Way to find God. At the end of Christ's life on earth we have the searing tragedy of the cross. If Christ had not been born, our world might well have declined and lived only to self-destruct. We call Him Savior because He came to save us. As we grope around in our darkness, Christ was sent to us as a light to find our way out of our darkness.
