Isaiah 9:2

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.

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” –Winston Churchill

In the Garden of Eden, we shaped the world into the land of deep darkness, and thus it shaped us into darkness. Since then, we have done everything to stay away from the dayspring until Christ, who is the Light that has been shown unto us, came to turn us into a new creation of light and to turn the world we live in into a land of light. This Advent season, think about how long the people of the Old Testament were in waiting for the Dayspring from on high, who would bring about an end to the power of sin, and how we too are waiting for that new morning to come when we will be brought into community with Christ at last.
