It’s not by chance that our legends place Christ’s birth just after the shortest day of the year. The light of hope replacing fear just when the world seems darkest is probably the most ancient of human prophecies. In our tradition, that transition is Christmas. Pastor Jeffrey examines the corollary: that each of us lighting our own “little candle” is what makes Christmas a reality. (Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6-7; John 1:1-9)
