Dear
Brothers and Sisters In Christ:
“Grace and Peace to you from God the Father of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Introduction
Expect great things in the New Year! Follow the light!
Have you ever heard the slogan from Motel 6? It goes like this. “We’ll leave the light on for you.”
This is to help point travelers to the right place for the right price. However, once they are there, they may be very disappointed that they didn’t get what they expected.
However, there is a light you can follow and you’ll never
be disappointed! When Jesus spoke again
to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John
8:12)
The truth of
darkness
Man has become comfortable in darkness. Even though he stumbles, hurts himself, and even experience brokenness over and over again, he stays in that darkness, stumbling and fumbling around. Every now and again a flicker of light will shine in. Instead of following that light, he crawls back into the comfort of his darkness, continuing to stumble, fumble, and hurting himself. Eventually he dies in that darkness.
You might ask, “Why would anyone stay in darkness when
he’s shown a light that can help him get out?” Well Jesus gave the answer: This
is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead
of light because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19)
Impact of
Witnessing to Children about the true light
An eight-year old
girl says, “I get it. Jesus moved that sin stuff that was blocking our way to
heaven when he died on the cross. Now we can get to heaven.” She prayed that
Jesus will become her Savior and Lord.
A ten-year old
prayed to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. He got so excited that he wanted to
write down how to receive Jesus as Savior so he can share it with others. Immediately, he wanted to be baptized.
Prayer of Faith
If
you find yourself traveling in darkness, remember Jesus left the light on! Please pray for forgiveness of your sins. Ask
Jesus to become your Savior and Lord! If you need assistance, please email me
at first.c@sbcglobal.net.
Conclusion
As you celebrate this New Year, remember you are a lighthouse for Jesus. Point others to Christ.
Please pray that God will shower our Pastor with inner strength, perseverance and great patience as he leads us to become true lights of the world! Also pray that God will make our Evangelism Explosion (EE) Ministry very salty as we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the world!
Finally, don’t forget to leave your light on! Join us in proclaiming the Good News of Christ Jesus! Classes start soon.
Yours
in Christ,
