TOPIC:LIGHT HAS COME TO THE WORLD
TEXT: 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. KJV
Yesterday, we learnt that Jesus is the light, and he was sent by God to light everyman that come to the world. Which means that everyman in this world need Jesus, who is the light to give light to their soul. This is necessary because we have earlier established and learn that the ways of man were corrupted and the thought of his heart is evil continually. Thus, man needed help, which God perfected the need in Christ Jesus by Grace through salvation. Hence, we can refer to salvation as light in the darkness.
The phrase “Light in the darkness” typifies salvation from sin and destruction. It also refers to a repositioning back to Genesis 1:1-2. It also refers to the revelation of the truth that God is light, and sin with its lust and consequences that influence man and cause his heart to turn away from God; is as a result of darkness or is darkness in itself. In this light. 1John 1:5 says;
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 KJV. This means that the work of God in creating the heavens and earth is for good and nothing contrary to good is in his will. Thus, all that he created as accounted for in Genesis chapter one, has the verdict that it was good.
Sin isn’t good. The deviation from the instruction of God by Adam and Eve isn’t good and the curse that came because of their choice isn’t good as well. The corruption of the earth, which was full of violence and the heart of men filled with wickedness and evil isn’t good. They are all because of sin. Thus, Jesus came as a light to the world to set man free from darkness and restore him to God, to be in union forever, as it was, in the beginning.
Thus, condemnations await everyone, to whom the light of salvation shines upon on earth but have refused to receive, accept and believe in it. Such have despised the truth that he needs light to be free from darkness. And such has ignorantly remained under the lordship of darkness being deceived. You can make a choice today to believe, receive and acknowledge the light that is in the world. Jesus died and resurrected, he left the earth with the command that all nations must be taught and preach unto to be saved. Your salvation is the fulfilment of his commandment. Pray with me.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I recognise that I need you, the light of the world. I don’t want to live in darkness anymore. Therefore, I confess that you have become my Lord and saviour and believe with my heart that you died for my sins and was raised from the dead by the power of God for my justification. My sins are forgiven, and I am now in the light. Amen
