Topic :Jesus Is The True Light.
Memory Verse : John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Bible Reading :John 1:7-9 KJV. Key Verse: v9.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Jesus Christ is the gift of God to mankind. Before he came to the earth in human form, darkness and his kingdom thought they will have their way here on earth. But God in his wisdom demonstrated his supremacy over his creation and the affairs of men by introducing light who is the antidote to any form of darkness. Men who rejects Jesus from being king over their lives and affairs labour under the burdens of Satan who is darkness personified. John came on time and bore witness to this great light of God that came to deliver men from religious darkness and all forms of confusion that befell mankind because of the fall. Jesus came to reveal as well as execute God’s plan of salvation for mankind. Through him we have understanding of how to be restored to a life of fellowship with the father and are empowered to live our lives to please the father. “Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God’s children. They did not become God’s children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father. John 1:12-13 GNB.
Jesus as light of the world has dimensions of manifestation of direction and clarity of purpose in his operations. One of those dimensions was revealed in John chapter 8, when a woman who was caught in adultery was brought to him. The accussers of the woman sought his permission to stone her to death. They didn’t understand the fact that he came to turn the table and usher in grace and mercies of God to as many that could run to him for help instead of judgement as prescribed by the laws of Moses. “Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”” John 8:10-12 NIV.
In same John chapter 9, we saw another dimension of this great light in healing the man that was blind from birth. He came to introduce us to a life victory over sin, Satan, sickness and every negativity we can think of in this life, John 9:1-7. In John chapter 11, we can see another dimension of this light that knows the end from the beginning. He knows what to do per time to bring glory to the father. Following him guarantees our safety in the journey of life. “His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.” John 11:8-10.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus your son to illuminste our paths on earth. From today give me understanding and help me to take advantage of every dimensions of glory available in Christ, as to live victorious here on earth by him in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 21:25-38.
