LOVE WAS BORN
and
LIGHT CAME INTO THE WORLD
LOVE WAS BORN
and
LIGHT CAME INTO THE WORLD
Jesus is the Light of the World
John 1:4-5
The WORD gave life to everything that was created,
Jesus is the Light of the World
John 1:4-5
and His life brought Light to everyone.
The Light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
John 1:14
So the WORD became human and made his home among us.
He was full of unfailing LOVE and faithfulness.
And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed by Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come;
Thy Will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:16-20English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
