A Message from
Pastor Ronald McCray
By Pastor Ronald McCray
It is recorded in John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it.”
Each of us and this world we live in were given life by Jesus Christ. He is the light of all mankind. And His light shines in the darkness.
This is hard to remember sometimes. When those around us are terribly ill…when the weather is dark and gloomy…when we start thinking about tax season…when we are waiting for the next paycheck, it’s hard to see the light through the darkness.
Yet we can be reassured through verse 5 that the darkness has not overcome the light. The dark will not last forever! If we focus only on the negative, we allow the darkness to creep in. But when we focus on Christ, we will begin to see His light in our life. We will begin to see the little triumphs, the tiny miracles, the God-sightings in our everyday life. When we allow our attention to focus on the positives, the light
will grow brighter. The darkness will begin to diminish.
We must have faith that the light is there. Have faith that Christ is standing beside you. Have faith that the Holy Spirit is still within you. Have faith that your God is still working all things for your good.
WE GOT THIS!
