The light shines in the
darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. There was a man who was sent
from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that
light, so that through him that all men might believe. John 1:5-7 (NIV)
Our world is not any different from the world in the New
Testament. In fact, some might say it is worse. People in our world hear of
“the light” but most either have not cared or do not understand about it.
God sent John to point the way for the people of the New
Testament so they could find their way through the darkness and enter into “the
light.”
Present day, we read of school and workplace shootings, suicides,
and random shootings. We need someone who can lead our people out of the
murkiness of our world and into the presence of Jesus.
Our world is a fallen and hurting world. We must evaluate
our thoughts, our actions, and our reactions as we advance through our lives.
We have a responsibility to reflect Jesus to all those around us.
Are there things we could do to better reflect Jesus to
those around us?
Yes, we could do many things better I am sure. And Christmas is a good time to share Jesus with everyone...through our cards, gifts, giving to those in need...What better opportunity to let the Light of Christ shine in our lives? There are so many who need to see that Light.
ReplyDeletePam: We all are looking at doing things in a more Christlike way. I received a Christmas card from someone who left the church several years ago. She still maintains some contact with a few of us, that contact being when she chooses. Please pray for her, she needs the LORD and her whole family needs Him as well. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
