Light has come

When the set time had fully come, God sent his Son. 1 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 2

Christ Jesus came into the world 3 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death. 4 

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. 5 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine on us. 6

The Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. 7 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 8

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 9

The grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 10 

Light has come into the world. 11 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 12
