December 8th Evening Devotion (Matthew 4:16; John 8:12)

Key Truth: Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world.” His divine nature fulfills the Old Testament prophecies of light, guiding His followers with perfect direction and purpose. Family Reflection: Reflect together on the ways Jesus illuminates your path.  What doubts, questions, struggles, and so forth do you have? Have you spoken to the Lord about those questions? Is the Lord showing you where to go every day? Are you asking him for directions? Think about that. And to whom are you showing the light of Christ daily? Additional Scripture References: Exodus 25:37; Leviticus 24:2; Psalm 27:1; Isaiah 9:2; Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:6 Day 8 Combined Summary Isaiah foretold that a great light would dawn on those living in darkness, and Matthew and John reveal that Jesus is that Light of the World. At Christmas, the dawn broke in Bethlehem as Jesus entered the darkness to bring hope, forgiveness, and eternal life. His divine nature fulfills the prophecies of light, guiding His followers with perfect direction and purpose. For all who surrender to Him, Jesus illuminates the path, provides clarity in times of uncertainty, and calls us to shine His light to others.
