JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT
GEN 1: 3 ¶ AND GOD
SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. 4 And God saw the light, that it
was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
When God said let there be light in the beginning it did not
mean that God was in the dark that He could not see. God does not need any
external help to control the macrocosm. The light Cod said to be was not a
physical light. So the light did not come to shine on a physical performance.
I said so because God did not create sun that was a physical
light until the fourth day.
GEN 1:16 AND GOD MADE
TWO GREAT LIGHTS; THE GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY, AND THE LESSER LIGHT TO
RULE THE NIGHT: HE MADE THE STARS ALSO
Light has to do with knowledge of Christ. God was aware of
the knowledge of Himself in Christ. And he called the knowledge light. And
ignorance he called darkness. The knowledge of Christ is the light to the world
and anyone in Christ is a light to the world because he is a child of light.
The knowledge of Christ is the light that is in Christ. Anyone without the
knowledge of Christ is still living in the darkness of ignorance.
2Cor 4:6 For God, who
commanded the light to shine out of darkness, HATH SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, TO
GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS
CHRIST.
(JOHN 1:4-5) IN HIM
WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN.5 ¶ AND THE LIGHT SHINETH IN
DARKNESS; AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT.
John 12:36 WHILE YE
HAVE LIGHT, BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT, THAT YE MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT. These
things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them
Eph 5:8 For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: WALK AS CHILDREN OF
LIGHT:
John 3:19 And this is
the condemnation, THAT LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL.
John 9:5 As long as I
am in the world, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
John 12:46 I am come
a light into the world, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON ME SHOULD NOT ABIDE IN
DARKNESS.
The psalmist had a shadow knowledge of this reality and
called God a sun. It was a metaphorical expression because God cannot be a
creature.
PS 84:11 FOR THE LORD
GOD IS A SUN AND SHIELD: THE LORD WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY: NO GOOD THING WILL
HE WITHHOLD FROM THEM THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY
If God is a sun then God has been reduced to an object. This
verse is shadow of the glory that should radiate through the knowledge of
Christ. Sun is an object created by God.
PS 148:3 PRAISE YE
HIM, SUN AND MOON: PRAISE HIM, ALL YE STARS OF LIGHT.
Verse 5 Let them
praise the name of the LORD: FOR HE COMMANDED, AND THEY WERE CREATED.
God does not live
inside the sun because He was living before the sun was created.
The light actually manifested when Christ manifested in the
flesh.. When the word became flesh and dwelt amongst men.
Isaiah also saw the shadow
Isaiah 9:2 The people
that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of
the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
THIS IS THE REALITY
1John 1:5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, THAT GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL
LUKE2:32 (CHRIST)A
LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES, AND THE GLORY OF THY PEOPLE ISRAEL.
LUKE 1:79 TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS
AND IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH, TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE.
Christ proclaimed It prophetically to the Jews. They had to believe in the resurrected Christ
to be children of light.
(John 12: 35 -36)Then
Jesus said unto them, YET A LITTLE WHILE IS THE LIGHT WITH YOU. WALK WHILE YE
HAVE THE LIGHT, LEST DARKNESS COME UPON YOU: FOR HE THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS
KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light,
that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed,
and did hide himself from them.
John 12:46 I AM COME
A LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in
darkness.
Acts 26:23 THAT
CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER, AND THAT HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST THAT SHOULD RISE FROM THE
DEAD, AND SHOULD SHEW LIGHT UNTO THE PEOPLE, AND TO THE GENTILES
Anyone who rejects the Gospel rejected the light and will
continue in darkness. The gospel shines as light in the minds of unbelievers to
illuminate them with the reality of Christ.
2CO 4:4 IN WHOM THE
GOD OF THIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT, LEST THE
LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, SHOULD SHINE
UNTO THEM.
Receive Jesus Christ today and be a child of light.
1Th 5:5 YE ARE ALL
THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY: WE ARE NOT OF THE NIGHT,
NOR OF DARKNESS
Col 1:12 ¶ Giving
thanks unto the Father, WHICH HATH MADE US MEET TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE
INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN LIGHT:
Hallelujah.
Establishing Heroes by the knowledge of Christ
