Christmas must be kind of hard in Northern Alaska—it’s basically dark the entire Christmas season!
Then again, maybe it’s pretty dark for you this Christmas. It’s like Alaska in your heart. Maybe you’ve lost someone, or the future’s uncertain, or you feel guilty over some mistake you’ve made; maybe a deep loneliness or depression. You’re handling by yourself what you were never meant to handle alone. God wants to move in closer to you than you’ve ever experienced in your life.
Here’s what the Bible says happens when Jesus comes. “The people living in darkness have seen a great light” (Matthew 4:16 ). Jesus is waiting to do that for you. He died to close the sin-gap between you and God. All the lights went out for Jesus at the cross so you would never be alone in the dark again.
A religion won’t do it; you need a relationship with Jesus. If you want to begin one, just ask Him to come into your life. He is ever ready to come in search of His lost sheep. It’s been dark long enough. It doesn’t have to be dark one more day.
