JOHN 1:1–8; MATTHEW 5:16
Vaclav Havel was the first elected president of Czechoslovakia in 1989, overcoming his political prisoner status. His funeral in Prague in 2011 was marked by former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who praised Havel for bringing light to dark places.
Havel’s introduction of light in Czechoslovakia’s political arena exemplifies the work of Jesus in bringing light to the world. He created light out of darkness at the dawn of time, and with His birth, he brought light to the spiritual arena, embodying the life and light that darkness cannot overcome.
In today’s world, where good is often seen as bad and bad as good, people seek direction in life. May we be the ones to shine the light of Christ into our world.
