Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” He announced this during the Feast of Tabernacles, an annual feast celebrating and remembering how God had led his people from Egypt, through the wilderness, and home into the Promised Land. God did this with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night to light the way. In the same way Jesus is leading us home through the wilderness. He's the Light of the World, sent to light our way home.
No one had an experience of the first Christmas quite like Mary did, and no one else ever will. This Advent season we’re looking at the biblical accounts of Jesus’s birth through the eyes of Jesus's mother, a young girl named Mary.
