Celebrating Christmas...

Prayer Minutes PM#0476

 As we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate the coming of light into our world.  John 1: 9 says “There was the true light, … which lighteth every man, coming into the world.”  In John 1:4 the Bible says: “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”  That life reflected the nature of God, which is Love.  I John 4:8. 

What keeps us from accepting that love?  Many of us have grown up with fear, and have done wrong things which we don’t want to even speak about.   Those things have a hold on us like a rope around our neck that can’t be removed. Christ came not to judge us, but to give us life. 

We can have that life if we believe on Jesus.  John 3:16 says: “For God so love the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish.” All we need to do is believe in Him.  Have you really personally done that? 

If not, then consider this prayer:  “Jesus, I believe in you as my savior.  Help me to love You.  Amen.”
