I have taken a picture for a church newsletter. It is to be the Christmas newsletter and the picture shows 3 burning candles. Could anyone please help me with an appropriate bible quotation for the picture.
Thanks in advance.

I know it's pagan - I am one.
However, I am doing a favour for a friend.

From the darkness of the world came a shining light.

Matthew 5:14-16 ???
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven."
John 1:1-18 you should check out about Jesus being the light.
Both passages could be appropriate for a Christmas season.

May the Light of the Christ child burn in your heart this Christmas season and throughout the coming year.
oops. that is not a bible quotation, I just made it up. I will go look and come back.
OK:
Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
Isaiah 60:1
"Arise, shine, for your light has come. (then I would add) Alleluia!

On the Mount of Beatitudes Jesus says to His disciples: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matt. 5:14-16).

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee....the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising." Isaiah 60:1-3 (KJV)

Try 1 Corinthians 13:13 which goes,
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
Peace be with you.
