In reflecting on the presence of Jesus this Christmas, I have noted how wherever he went, Joy seemed to follow him. It was as if JOY was his shadow.
John 15:11 - I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Somehow, we seem to believe that all shadows are sinister or dark, yet when I think of how the shadow of a tall building or tree gives respite to those of us baking in the sun, then shadows become a gift. Not only does Jesus give us the gift of himself, but his shadow brings along further gifts of Joy, Peace, Hope and Love.
Matthew 2:10 – “When they saw the star they were filled with joy!” (NLT)
“There is strong shadow where there is much light.” -
