January 1, Christmas Light Outshines Political Gloom

Wyatt’s Take

• Christmas brings true hope through faith in Jesus, no matter the world’s darkness.
• Politicians try to twist this holiday, but its meaning can’t be changed or dimmed.
• Mary and Joseph faced far tougher days, yet stood strong in faith and courage.

Christmas is a day for Christians to celebrate the everlasting Light given by God through His Son, Jesus Christ. This Light stands unmatched, a gift for believers to share and spread hope to others, especially here in America.

The holiday reminds Christians that even in rough times, eternal blessings await—something this world can’t take away.

“Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!”

Some politicians use Christmas for their own gain, stirring up fear and acting as if hard times are because of who is in power. These same folks often mock the power of prayer, even though Christians know talking to God is stronger than any law ever written.

Prayer connects Christians to the Creator, the true source of hope. Faith keeps believers joyful, no matter what comes their way.

For a look at real hardship, remember Mary and Joseph’s trip to Bethlehem—nearly a hundred miles, not an easy path even with a donkey. Both carried heavy burdens long before they found themselves in a cold, crowded stable far from comfort and safety.

Mary faced a miraculous pregnancy, Joseph wrestled with faith and loyalty, and together they braved rejection and danger so God’s promise could be fulfilled. No doctor, no comfort, just a humble birth in a barn surrounded by animals.

Even though the story is familiar, it’s easy to forget just how tough, lonely, and frightening those days were. Their faithfulness and resolve brought Light into a world desperate for hope.

Modern troubles can’t measure up. Christians today can be thankful for Mary and Joseph’s courage—and for the gift that lasts forever.

That’s why Christmas stands alone for believers—it’s not just another holiday, but a day to remember and share the joy and salvation Jesus brings all year long.

On Christmas and every day, Christians have direct access to God, forgiveness, and the promise of salvation, regardless of troubles from the left or threats from those who oppose Christian values and American traditions.

Hold that Light close, share it freely, and let Christmas remind us that no darkness lasts forever.
