Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

All throughout the season, notice how much the image of light is used in this celebration.

I mean, drive around our city. You see lights everywhere on homes at shopping malls. You see them all around the church as well.

Light is a very important part of Christmas because light is associated with Jesus Christ.

You see that same metaphor of light for Jesus Christ throughout the Bible.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

In John chapter 8, Jesus said, I am the light of the world and Jesus is still shining his light into the dark corners of our world.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress considers why Jesus would compare himself to light and uncovers four crucial objectives Jesus came to accomplish on Planet Earth.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

I'm especially pleased that you set aside a half hour to join us because today we'll focus our complete attention on the miracle of Christmas.

My message is part of the December theme which is to celebrate the Savior.

Before we get started, I want to remind you that there's still time to request your copy of the all-new 2023 Pathway to Victory Daily Devotional.

As a means for helping you walk in the Word through the entire New Year, I've written a chapter for every weekday in 2023.

This edition is well over 500 pages in length and here's the flow for the New Year.

From January to February, I'll guide you in a spiritual fitness program using wisdom from the book of Hebrews.

From March through May, you'll learn how to walk with God by studying the life of Abraham.

In the summer, you'll discover the joy and freedom of living in grace and in the fall and winter, you'll meditate on the parables of Jesus.

It's going to be a great journey together.

And a leather-bound daily devotional is yours when you give a generous year in gift to support and expand the ministry of Pathway to Victory.

Plus, because of the light and the darkness matching challenge that's active right now, any amount you give today will automatically be doubled.

And every dollar we receive will be channeled directly toward reaching more listeners with this daily radio program, the telecast, and the many other ways we're reaching out through Pathway to Victory.
