As we reflect on the meaning of this Christmas season, we note that Jesus the Messiah is referred to as the "light for redemption" by Simeon in the temple (Luke 2:25-32).
This was fulfilled through the life of Jesus the Christ.
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace."
– Ephesians 1:7
And this is a direct fulfillment of what was foretold by the prophets.
"I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles."
– Isaiah 42:6
We at Cross desire that each of you will see that "light" and experience His redemption during this season.
