Tonight, as we started into our dress rehearsal Christmas concert music, the fellows controlling the lights were still finding their way and we in the choir were partially in the dark. We couldn't read the music or see our conductor (Ted Cornell) and, consequently, we got off to a staggered start...almost like a track race with a false start with some singing and others waiting. Appropriately enough the theme for this year's program is: "Your Light Has Come". Within a few songs the lighting was in synch with singers and orchestra. Once we could see, we could relax and perform as we'd practiced. Light made all the difference. The world is in darkness and because many have never experienced the full light of the Lord they don't realize the difference light can make. The light of Jesus' presence shows us the dark areas of our hearts. It also reveals truth from God's word. The greater the light, the greater the contrast and the more apparent good and evil become. Light is attractive. It chases shadows, causes the brilliance of color to emerge and lifts our spirits. Jesus is the light of the world and He is your light and mine.
Matthew 4:16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.
blessings,
Rob Smith
