Light, Peace, & Hope for Your Christmas

DAY 7 OF 25

Be A Messenger Of Light

1 John 1:5-10 - This is the message He has given us to announce to you: God is light and there is no darkness in Him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness. We are not living in the truth. But if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ is, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.

How simple things are when we take God at His word. This makes a difference in how we live our lives and how we talk about our lives to one another.

Truth and honesty do matter. Simple, clear and straightforward direction is always easiest to grasp. We have been given a message this season; we are His messengers, He is the message.

Pray today that you would be given the opportunity to share the simplicity of the gospel with someone who would least expect it.

Pray that someone in your family would long to hear and respond to the gospel this season. It could happen!

Advent is a word full of anticipation, preparation, and celebration – the Latin word means “coming” or “to come.” Christ has come as a babe, is coming to each heart that invites Him, and will come again to bring you home. Our 25-day Advent plan includes short daily devotionals based on Scripture and focused on Light, Peace, and Hope. Prepare your heart for Jesus as you prepare to celebrate Christmas!
