Light That Pierces Darkness

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.


We sincerely hope that you are all enjoying a blessed Christmas season. As we have gone through this Advent season, we have been focusing on the Light of the world, Jesus Christ. That focus has led us to a new re-realization of how lost we all are without Jesus Christ. It has also shown us how inadequate we have been about proclaiming His light to those around us who live in the same darkness that we once lived in. We pray that His light will shine through all of us as our lives touch others so that maybe He can touch them. Merry Christmas!
