 'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not' (John 1:10).

Jesus the Creator of the world, came down to earth with one purpose in mind, and that was to save mankind. God was present in the form of His Son and the world didn't recognise him. Jesus Christ was the Light of all light and illuminated the whole world, but the giver of light was rejected by men. John said, "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." How sad and heartbroken that must have been? Think about a child who rejects his parents, who did and give all they could to that child. He has made it big in the life and don't want to associate with them. Think of how heartbroken the parents would be. Well Jesus the Saviour, did all He could to save man from their sins; The Father's love for man, watch His only Son died  to give us life and hope eternal. How it pained His heart when we rejected Him, His knowledge and His Word.
Christ willingly came to bring light of the Father to darkened and dismal world, and to give life to all who are dead in their sins. Must not we accept the Saviour's love and turn from darkness into His marvellous light, and to accept His death and His truth? While Christ was on earth many witness His miracles and followed him every where He went. They were amazed by all the great things He said and did, and some did not believe him and hung him on the cross. We all need to know Christ personally and intimately for ourselves, to recognise Him as the source of our life. Without Him we are nothing, in Him we are everything! We must seek to develop a heart desirous of knowing the Giver of life - our life. Let us allow Him to open our eyes to see him; our ears to hear him and our hearts be lifted up to receive him.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
