Light in Darkness

Have you ever thought what our world would look like if Christ never came?
What would your life look like if you didn't have Jesus?

I could describe it in one word: Darkness!

Lost and clueless of what life is about...
Grasping without getting a hold, if there is a God and what He would be like...
Hopelessly trapped in my sins...

But He came!

Christmas time is a chance to relive the world shaking history making event of God coming to earth!

He came and brought LIGHT!

In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5)
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)

His life is our light and
in His light we have life!

Praise God He came and brought me into the light of life.
No more lost, no more hopeless, no more a slave!

He came into our world to bring us into His.
He came and conquered our darkness.
He came and gave us life, and an abundance of it!

I want to live in His light and
enjoy the richness of His life!

I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
(1 Cor. 1:4-9)

Eternally grateful,
Samuel

Isn't the Finn meeting at 5:00 followed by coffee and Ulla's flower sale to support missions?

duno, however... I got the pictures done!!! (for the christmas song) i didn't put any wires on them though, 'cause i didn't have any and i think that it would be alot easier to place them by hand. (otherwise they'll just get all mixed up.) so if we wanted we could even practice at youth. either way i'll bring them.
