There is a lot of excitement happening right now at Compass Point as Main Street Christmas is just one day away! In the middle of all the craziness, I just wanted to take a minute today to remember the whole REASON behind this event. It’s Jesus. It’s about him. This week I was reading in the book of John, and I have been reading the following passage over and over again….
John 1:9-14
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The part of this passage that has resonated in my heart is, The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. It’s so amazing to realize that Jesus came for us, for you and for me. And he is the TRUE light that gives light to the world. To all of us! I’m so thankful and overwhelmed – it’s the greatest gift ever given to you and to me.
We’re going to have a fantastic weekend with so much fun, but my heart is singing today not because of Main Street Christmas, but because a true light came into the world for me. It’s all about Jesus and this weekend, we celebrate HIM!!!
