Lux Venit

(cont'd meaning of Christmas from yesterday's post)

Built into us by the Creator is a longing to understand God and eternity, to believe there is really hope for humanity:

"By sword, by flame
In death solemn ages passed,
And voices young grow old & weary
Holding fast - hope for the dawning"

The appeal of the Christian good news is that God sought out humanity by sending Jesus Christ to reveal Him, to be Light for us:

"Lux venit - Arise, shine! For your light has come!"

Those lyrics are from the song below. It's years old, but "Lux Venit" from this album by Michael W. Smith moves me every time I hear it. So enjoy . .
