The Life Light
The Word was first,
the Word present to God
God present to the Word
The word was God
in readiness for God from day one
Everything was created through him:
nothing—not one thing!—
came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
the darkness couldn’t put it out.
John 1:1-5 The Message
During the winter the sky is gray, the daylight hours are short, and the sun does not often shine through the snow clouds. Some people even suffer from something called Seasonal Affected Disorder, where they suffer the blues because of the lack of sunlight. A few people even get a bit grumpy. If you are one of these people, I’ve got a little pastoral advice for you.
When the sun doesn’t shine outdoors, spend more time with the Son indoors J
There is nothing sad or dreary about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His birth was miraculous, His life was full of healings and teachings and miracles. His death was for one reason; so that you and I do not have to die eternal death, but because we believe will receive eternal life; and his resurrection was the greatest thing the world will ever see until he comes again.
If you don’t have a Bible reading plan, begin in the Gospel of John and read about the Life-Light come into the world. Spend time in prayer in the warmth of Jesus’ presence and time in the Word and you won’t even notice that another foot of snow has fallen outside of your window!!
May the warmth of the love of God surround you and fill you to overflowing, so that you share that warm love with the people God puts into your life.
Serving God with JOY,
Pastor Rosemary
