Hope For Dark Times

You may have heard preachers say things like in order to really understand the Good News or the gospel, you have to first hear the bad news. The bad news is we were living in darkness. And I’m not talking about a cloudy day, this was darkness so deep you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

This darkness led to the greatest light the world has ever seen. Jesus is born in the midst of this darkness. His arrival is the light shining on the people. Dark times lead to a great light. This was true then and I believe its true now.
