And the Word became flesh ...

“ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14

What a wonderful “Good News” we were told by the evangelist John when, with such conviction, spoke about the birth and life of Jesus, The Christ in our midst. John brings to our minds the words of the prophet Isaiah that tells us that The Mighty God and Everlasting Father, also would be called Immanuel, and would be God with us.

What a privilege to be chosen and called by God to believe in this truth. Yes, privilege, but also responsibility to make this so great Good News known to everybody around us and not only, but … to the ends of the earth.

We arrived back at the end of another year. Christmas, December 25th, is the party and the date that the christian calendar separates to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Don´t want to be repetitive and much less tiring bringing up what you have already heard this year or even in previous years. We do not want to talk about how the world left Jesus at side and puts any other person, thing or felling in the place of our King.

But we do want to encourage you to share what you believe. To use this time as a great opportunity to show the true meaning of Christmas. To show the world who should be the real focus of this “party”.

Spread your love for the Lord Jesus. Wherever you are, be the Light of Jesus that shines for those who are in darkness.

Christmas means birth. Let this meaning bring to us the real size of the gift that has been given to us: A Life that came into the world to give us life … Life in abundance … Life in eternity … Life in Jesus Christ.

We wish you all a Christmas full of possibilities to make Jesus Known and a year full of achievements in 2010 with the fulfillment of God’s purpose in your lives.

A big hug !!!
