 '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 🌹🌹

 '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 ...
