 'In him was life; and the light was the light of men'
(John 1:4).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John1:1).  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...(John 1:14). We see depicted in these passages that Jesus was the Word, and that He is God. He is the resurrection and the life and all who believe on him will have everlasting life. It is important to establish who Jesus is, and the sacrifice he made on our behalf to redeem us from the disease of sin. When we appreciate that He is also God, who in human form came down and died for us, so as to save us from the bondage of sin; it should motivate us to honour and serve him. In Him is life: we cannot gain eternal life without having Jesus in our lives. We must accept His sacrifice on the Cross, believing He is the Son of God, who was before the foundation of the world. We must also accept Him as our Co-Creator and that everything was made by Him. God our loving Father has given us eternal life through his Son, and if we do not accept His Son, we will not have eternal life (1John 5:11-12). Christ said himself, "He is the light of the world" and we who were in darkness as a result of sin need to walk in this light. Light dispels darkness and give us a clearer vision. If Christ is the Light and dwells in us, we will see more clearly and gain more understanding and knowledge of His truth. Our sinfulness would be exposed and we would recognised we are in need of a Saviour. If we refuse to let go of the darkness, them we have no hope of eternal life with Him. Will you not seek Jesus, the True Light, who will light every one that comes into the world, and who alone can save you? Christ is the Fountain and Sustainer of life! He is calling you and me to drink of the  fountain of life and be sustained for ever more. Christ desire is to save us and take us out of this darkness that has entrapped and blinded us from the truth of God's grace. He wants us to realise that in Him is life and light. We have every opportunity to choose Him and allow him to illuminate our hearts and souls with his light, in order to save us for eternity. We can never go wrong if we choose to trust God and give him our whole heart.

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 ...
