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

Jesus Christ the eternal and true Light of the world was also the Creator. God himself, came down to earth as Jesus in the physical form to save humankind from sin and death. John the Baptist, Christ's forerunner brought knowledge of the True Light to a world in darkness. He preached the message of  repentance to all, that if  they believed in Jesus as the Messiah and the Light of the world, who as come to save them from their sins, they would have eternal life. But sorry to say, the people who was suppose to be the light to the heathen nations around didn't recognised Jesus as the Messiah and chose to reject the knowledge brought by the One who was the eternal Light. The Jews saw all that Christ did and heard all that he said. They witnessed His many miracles and human testimonies but yet most of them did not believe the truth about Him. Some rejected Him out of pride and arrogance. They were looking for a worldly king, as portrayed on earth, to save them from the Roman supremacy, not some one poor and associated with all kinds of people. Christ came to bring Light to a darkened world, to save us from the bondage of sin and set us free. All who believe in Him by faith through grace will not perish, but have eternity life with him. We have the Scriptures which testifies of Jesus Christ, all the miracles done and all the testimonies given, to choose rightly, and accept Jesus as the incarnate Son of God. Those who are unbelieving need to know Jesus as their Saviour, by trusting in his sacrificial death, as the only Substitute for their sin. Those of us that are believers, need to know Him personally and intimately and through the power of the Holy Spirit, seek to draw closer  and develop a heart-desire to know Him more as our eternal Light and soon coming King. Let us choose wisely!

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 ...
