Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. "
John 8:12
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. "
Isaiah 9:2
Yeshua is The Light.
Chanukah begins tonight, and we will kindle the Chanukiah
( the special Chanukah menorah) lights.
The eight candles are lit off of one special candle,
the Shamash or servant, that is positioned higher than the others:
"See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted."
Isaiah 52:13
The metaphor is clear: the shamash is Yeshua, the One who is the illuminator of our lives,
both to bring us out of the darkness of sin, and to light the paths of our hearts, minds,
and souls, and the Holy Spirit is the oil that keeps that light burning brightly.
Without Him our "candles" would never be ignited, we would be doomed to darkness,
both in this life and the eternity that awaits us all.
Walk in His light beloved...
