Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

(Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word)

1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,*
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
(John 1:1-5)  NLT

Reflection:

I was going through some boxes the other
day and I ran across some boxes that said,
"Christmas Stuff".  I opened the box and
there was the Nativity. Whenever I think
about Christ's birth, I am reminded that
little baby, Jesus, whose birth we
celebrate, was there when God first
created the world back in Genesis.
He was there when Noah built the ark.
He was there when Moses received the
ten commandments. He was there when
Job suffered and lost everything only
to emerge victorious in the end.
He was there. He was always there.
What's really is exciting for me is that
Jesus Christ is here right now.  As
He was there in the Old Testament,
in the beginning, and throughout history.
He is here now, for you and  for me.
Knowing all His work and sacrifice can
make a difference in our lives.

JUST OPEN THE DOOR AND LET HIM IN
