When the prophet Isaiah promised a Messiah would come, Israel was in a
dark place as the Assyrian invasion loomed in the future. Though the
future was bleak for God's people, Isaiah declared a light would shine
in the darkness:
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone. (Isaiah 9:2)
This "great light" was the Light of the World who would rescue His
people. At Christmastime, we celebrate the Light who came to earth that
special night in Bethlehem to show the way to the Father. And this Light
didn't just bring salvation to the Jews but also the whole world.
Right now, Israel finds herself in another dark period. But the ACLJ
can be a light to Israel as we defend her both in America and across the
world. We also remain vigilant in bringing the rest of the Israeli
hostages home. Please pray for us as we continue to be a light shining
in the darkness for Israel.
Prompts for celebrating God's faithfulness can be found in our all-new ACLJ Faith & Freedom Prayer Guide. In addition to prayer requests for the ACLJ's mission, you'll find devotions centered on the Christmas season.
