The Light of Christmas

We at Calvary Chapel of Monmouth County hope and pray for all of you a merry and blessed Christmas. Though there is much darkness in the world, there is also much light. More people are coming to Christ now than at any time in all history! Churches are being planted in all parts of the world at the rate of hundreds daily. The anti-Christian bias in our country grows fiercer and more open almost daily, but that is a reaction to the power of the gospel. When the light shines on the landscape around you, it shows you the way and makes for a friendly universe. When it only shines in your eyes, it blinds you all the  more, and brings pain to your eyes. As we surrender to the light, Christ, we no longer live in a menacing universe but it becomes a place where God's purposes are worked out. So this year,  when you sit around a lighted Christmas tree opening gifts with your name on them, remember that the Light of the World has come to give a personal gift to you - forgiveness of sins - eternal life - the joy of knowing a personal God. All yours, with your name on it, if you receive Jesus Christ the Light into your heart as your Lord and Savior. God bless you!
