THE SEASON OF LIGHT
By George Thurlow
©️December 5, 2025
The season of light is upon us With Christmas trees aglow,
Homes outlined with brilliant hues
Reflecting off the snow.
Beautiful, but superficial:
These human efforts to pierce the night,
Man’s feeble endeavor to escape the dark,
Through its own artificial light.
Obsessive strives to illumine the world at its darkest hour:
Ignoring the Truth of the Gospel
That Christ is the true Light and Power.
And this was the condemnation,
For the Light they wouldn’t heed,
Preferring to stay in darkness
Because of evil deeds.
Yet still exists the wise men,
Called out of the dark of night
Surrendering their lives unto Him;
Entering His marvelous Light.
John 3:19
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
1 Peter 2:9
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
