    When Jesus entered the world as a tiny newborn in Bethlehem - it was nighttime in many ways.

• Politically, it was night for the Jews as they suffered under the rule of several world powers and their people struggled under the domination of Roman government. 
  
• Spiritually, the nation of Israel had not heard from any prophets in 400 hundred years and were in a spiritual drought.
  
• Physically, the sun set, just as it had since the dawn of creation and darkness descended on the land and the little town of Bethlehem.
  

    "The time came for the baby to be born and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son"  Luke 2:6.  This was a holy night, born was the king of Israel, angels brought the shepherds good news of great joy.  This was the night that God sent his Son into the world to be the Light and Savior of all who come to accept Him as their Savior and Lord.                                                           photo by Nina

    "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us"  John 1:14.  "In Him was life and that life was the light of men."  John 1:4.

    We still experience nights of fear, failure, loneliness, and loss and Jesus is there bringing comfort, forgiveness, joy and peace.

    Someday there will be no more night of any kind, "The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light and the Lamb is its lamp.....there will be no night there." Revelation 21: 23-25
