Israel was under
the control of the Seleucids.
They were forced
to worship idols
or give up their lives.
In this time of darkness,
when all hope seemed to be lost
a light burned brightly.
Much like the Chanukah candles
a group of rag-tag
Jewish survivors
banded together
and fought back,
overcoming impossible odds.
It was God's
Deliverance.
So when we light
a candle in our darkness,
we're reminded
of the miraculous power
of God Almighty.
We're also reminded
of the role we can play
following the footsteps
of the Messiah
of being a light to the world.
