Darkness does not mean God is absent, and silence does not mean He is finished. That is why Christmas matters: God did not shout hope from a distance; He stepped into the darkness with His presence. The same Light that broke the silence of Bethlehem still reveals truth, restores value, and brings hope today. Wherever you are walking, you are not beyond His reach. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined" (Isaiah 9:2).
