Advent Day 24 - It's Christmas Eve

     The people who walked in darkness
        have seen a great light;
    those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
        on them has light shone.
                     Isaiah 9:2

It's Christmas Eve. The longing and anticipation of Christmas has finally drawn near. Tomorrow we celebrate. But for today, we wait for the dawning of Christmas morning. We have seen a great light. In our world of darkness, a light has dawned. Christ has come. Our hope has drawn near. Our joy is here. Our peace has dwelt among us.

Christ is coming. Tomorrow we celebrate.

But for today, we wait... we anticipate... we long the dawning of the light of Christ.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come quickly.

You are the reason we celebrate.
