The colors we wear at Christmas are significant because of the lack of color this time of year.
Color is dependent on light. This time of year we experience the lack of color with the lack of light, so we decorate our homes with color that reflects the light of brighter days.
"Live as citizens who reflect the Good News about Christ." Philippians 1:27 God's Word to the Nations
The light in our homes and churches grows brighter as we approach Christmas and as the days grow deeper in darkness...and this is how it should be.
We have been lit with the love of God. We shine because he has shined on us by entering our world that had been darkened by sin. We reflect the light of Christ in this dark world. This is our calling.
Like the varied colors of Christmas each one of us reflects the light of Christ in a different way. Each one of us has been gifted to shine with a different hue. As such the Church looks like a house decorated for Christmas, a house where there are multiple colors lighting the darkness of night.
You are an important reflector of God's light. The color which you bring to the world and to the Christian community is needed.
The church doesn't shine as brightly nor as colorfully without you.
