This year we celebrate the Advent of the Messiah during the week of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. This is quite appropriate as Jesus called himself the "Light of the World" (John 8:12) He also calls us the same in Matthew 5:14.
God's miracle during the era of the Maccabees gave Light during a time of cleansing and renewal of the Jewish Temple.
Jesus Christ came to be the Light to a World in need of cleansing and renewal from the power of Sin.
We have been appointed His ambassadors of Light to bring the message of cleansing and renewal to people in need of cleansing and renewal in their personal lives.
As we take time to enjoy the festivities of the season, let each one of us reflect on the what parts of our lives need the cleansing and renewal of the Christ and how we can allow our lives to reflect his Light into the lives of our family, friends and acquaintances in the coming year.
Maranatha!
