And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
How alert and discerning am I?
Could I swayed by deceivers?
“Then shall they deliver you up” — Do I qualify as a target?
How deep and secure is my loyalty to my fellow Christians?
What effect is iniquity having on me?
Is my spiritual commitment now sufficient to carry me through to the end?
Is the gospel of the kingdom going forth from me?

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He came!
“And the light shineth in darkness” (John 1:5).
“He was in the world” (John 1:10).
“He came” (John 1:11).
“But as many as received him” (John 1:12).
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
He came…to turn my darkness to light.
He came…enlighten me.
He came…that I might know Him.
He came…so I could receive Him.
He came…to give me the option of becoming a child of God.
He came…to show me His glory.
He came…to live among people such as I am.
He came…full of grace and truth…for me.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming!
