Light in the Darkness

The rst colored electric Christmas lights on outdoor evergreen trees

appeared in Denver in 1914. The tradition began thanks to a sick boy

bedridden in the top oor of his home. Ten-year-old David Sturgeon

couldnt see his familys Christmas tree downstairs, so his

grandfather, a pioneering electrician, painted some light bulbs red

and green and strung them on a tree outside Davids window.

Not only did the lights brighten what would be Davids last

holiday, but residents throughout the city came by to admire the

display. Just as Davids innovative grandfather brought light into

the boys dark times and joy to the whole community, God

revealed the true light by sending Jesus into our dark world. For

the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not

overcome it (John 1:5, NRSV).
