This letter gives us another secret to growth and change to those of us who are feeling a little bit complacent. Maybe we feel a little more bored than blessed when we connect with church … Perhaps we feel a lot more attached to this world than we’d like - (who doesn’t struggle with that?) and looking us straight in the eye Jesus says - “I want you to see your need as you never have before. Then I’d be able to meet your need as I never have before.” John writes this way to the church in Laodicea - “To the angel of the church of Laodicea write, ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds that you’re neither cold nor hot … I wish that you were one or the other … But you don’t realise you’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you get from me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich and white clothes to wear so you can cover your shameful nakedness salve to put on your eyes so you can see.” (Revelation 3:14 ff) Not easy words from Jesus but they end with his remarkable promise - “Look! I am standing at the door and I'm constantly knocking. If anyone opens the door I will come in and I’ll fellowship with him; I’ll relate to him, I’ll dine with him and he’ll fellowship with me.” (Revelation 3:20 – Message)

Genesis 1: 1-5(NIV)
V1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
V2 Now the earth was formless and empty, the darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
V3 And God said , “Let there be light”, and there was light.
V4 God saw that the light was good , and he separated the light from the darkness.
V5 God called the light ”day” and the darkness he called “night”. And there was evening and there was morning- the first day.
John 3: 19-21(NIV)
V19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
V20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
V21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly what he has done has been done through God.

Over 400 years before that fateful night in Bethlehem, the prophet Malachi foretold God’s breaking into human history. But far from picturing a silent night of new-born bliss, Malachi warns us of far more confronting scenes as God comes to cleanse and purify.
