[:en]CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Each year, during Christmas season, Singapore’s tourist belt, Orchard Road, has light-up to attract tourist to spend at their stores. Shoppers come to enjoy the festivities, listen to choirs sing familar Christmas carols, and watch performers entertain.
The first Christmas “light-up” was created by “the glory of the Lord that shone around”(Luke 2:9). Shepherds were around while an angelic choir rendered the song “Glory to God in the Highest”.
The shepherds went to Bethlehem and confirmed the birth of Jesus. They began to spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child” (Luke 2:17)
During this Christmas, may we share the good news that Christ – “the light of the world” – has come. (John 8:12) – (C.P. Hia)[:]
