A Message From Rev. Niki Vella-Power

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  There are lights on Christmas trees, topped with bright stars.  Everything is merry and bright.  Have you ever noticed that there is a definite theme of “Light” at Christmas time?  But here is the catch; It is at night that the lights are on and shinning in all their glory.

About 700 years before Jesus Christ was born the prophet Isaiah wrote about him; For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah also said; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.   And here is my point; The darkness!  Christmas is a joyful time, but we realize that there are people for whom Christmas is a time of great sadness because things are not the way that they should be.  The message of Christmas is most authentically for the people living, not just in darkness, but in deep darkness.

That might be YOU this Christmas.  However, into that darkness, Christ wants to enter and transform it.  God loves you and waits for permission to be born in your life and for you to experience his magnificent transformative light.
