 'I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness' (John 12:46).

Jesus identified himself from the very beginning of His ministry as the true Light of the world, the One who gives light to all man who comes into the world. He is God's guiding Light that expels all darkness, and open the eyes of man to the truth of His word and to direct man's steps into the path of peace, unto salvation. When man sin, darkness fell upon the fallen world. We were in need of a Saviour to bring  light and truth into our hearts. God sent Jesus to remove that darkness with His true light, which would reveal the gospel of His grace. Without Christ, we would be in utter darkness and  separated from God forever. Jesus the Light of the world make it possible for us to be reconciled to God. He being the Light of the world, give us the opportunity to walk in His light, as we believe on Him. We are instructed as believers, to walk in His light as Christ is in the light, and is given the privilege be the  salt of the earth and the light of the world, as we look to Christ. Christ the Light of the world, has shone his light into our hearts so we may have a knowledge of the glory of God.  As God's children we are called to walk in the light of His love, by the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. Christ, the Light of the world, came to lead His people into all truth and to save us from the bondage of sin. Jesus again reiterated His purpose as He came to the end of his last public address, prior to His resurrection, "I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness." Let us therefore allow Jesus to dispel darkness from our hearts and fill us with His light. Let us thank God, for sending Jesus to be that light for us; to enlighten our hearts and enrich our souls and for guiding us into His truth. We ought to trust and believe, so we turn not away from the only means of our salvation - Jesus the Light  and  Saviour of the world.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
