Topic: Light In The Night

An artist began painting a winter scene. As he began to paint, the scene unfolding on the canvass was of snow covered ground and pine trees. The artist's hand on the canvas brought the day to a close and night fell on the canvas, and the entire scene was covered with semi-darkness. A grim log cabin was barely visible in the shadows. Then the artist dipped his brush in the yellow paint of his pallet, and with a few strokes placed in one of the cabin windows the warm glow of a lamp. As he finished the painting the gold rays of the lamp reflected happily on the fresh snow. The lonely light totally changed the tone of the picture, replacing the gloomy chilled night with a warm and secure homestead. What happened on that canvas happened two thousand years ago on the world's canvas when a tiny baby came into a grim and dark world, shining His Light across the barren landscape and offering all persons the hope of eternal hope, warmth, security, and eternal life.
