"Jesus was born to secure the gap between Eden and our eternity in heaven. There will be no more waiting then. No more quicksand. No more 'Where is God?' or 'I can’t see you.' God came to earth to stand ten toes deep with us in the dark spaces."
So writes Heather Thompson Day in "Darkness, Then Light," Christianity Today's 2025 Advent devotional. For each day of the season, a writer shares a real life story of Jesus illuminating even the darkest of times.
Comfort in the loss of a loved one. Protection during a time of harm. Grace that transcends judgment. These are the acts of a merciful God whose set his great compassion on us through his son, Jesus Christ. As we await the celebration of his birth, and all the more his eventual return, may we cling to
the hope that when all around us is dark, he is shining a light. One day, our faith shall be made sight.
