From John 3:16-17:  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”

Witnessing distant light

Christ in Bethlehem born

Journey makes way toward cross

Thorns of man’s transgressions worn

Raising light, seeing grace

Father’s love bears His Son

Calvary moves from shadows

Hope’s fulfillment shall be done

Marking truth’s difference

Faith’s Messiah shows up

Destiny’s light serves pardons

Mercy flows from Heaven’s cup

Leaving days of darkness

God’s blueprint marks Christ’s way

Man’s sinful spirit transformed

Light nourishes peace each day

Exchanging world’s sorrows

Savior’s forgiving light

Every iniquity paid

Redemption’s dynamic flight

From John 3:19-21:  “And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.  For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.  But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”
