The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 1:1-13, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”

The LORD is amazing in how He works! What’s more, He is amazing in that He gives us the opportunity to know Him and become one of His children! This is the CHRISTmas Season and virtually everyone is wrapped up in the celebration. Yet, with all of that, many who celebrate have no knowledge of what or whom they celebrate!

The Scripture written above tells us that the LORD Jesus is the focus of true celebration! It is as easy for anyone to trust Jesus Christ as his own LORD and Savior as it is to celebrate the Christmas Season. It’s simply a matter of truly asking the LORD’s forgiveness for the sin you have committed.

If you were to knock on my front door, it would be that you want me to open the door for you. When the LORD knocks on the door of your life, it is His desire to enter your life and become your LORD and Savior! Jesus coming was essentially for you. It is safe to say that were you the only person in the world, the LORD Jesus would still have given His life on the cross for you! He did all the “hard work”; it’s now for you to surrender your life to Him.

He is the Light, who has come into this sin-darkened world. It was so that He might give His Life in sacrifice for you. Have you ever asked yourself, “Why did Jesus come and die anyway?” John tells us that Jesus came “so that all might believe through Him.” It is theoretically possible for all individuals to believe in Jesus and be saved. Isn’t that what John says, “…so that all might believe…”? What a CHRISTmas is instore for you when who learn its true meaning!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
