That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7 KJV
John 9:4-5 ~ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. KJV
Jesus came down to earth with a "purpose" on His mind. He already knew the end of His time would be fraught with such unconceivable pain ~ but He came any way. He had a job to do, one He volunteered for at the beginning of creation; one that would ensure the salvation of all men who would call upon Him as their personal Saviour. When He said, ". . .work the works. . .", they were the works of God. He would complete that task before Him as assigned by the LORD God. Only He could do this, no one else. They were to be done by Christ: the work of redemption for all men, fulfilling the law, and satisfying justice. And besides this, there was the preaching of the Gospel, doing miracles, among these was the giving sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, as spoke of in the Old Testament in Isaiah, chapter 35 and verse 5 "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."
Time does not stand still. Jesus knew He had to accomplish all that was assigned to Him in a time period set by God. Soon it would be dark, and no time left. Folks, there will come a time when our work "day" will be over, and the night hours will prevail. While we are above ground, we are to be the workers of Christ and His commission has been passed on to us. God created us for His pleasure and glory, and when things changed in the garden, He still wanted us. Sin passed to all men when Adam and Eve fell, and we have a choice to continue in our own world of sin or turn to Jesus and assure our home in heaven. Jesus said it Himself, ". . .I am the light of the world." Nothing can change that. The devil knew He could not hold Him in Hell, but he had to try. He was still deceiving men and women right along, and he still is. Jesus came to die for you and me; have you given yourself to Him?
The end times are very near. Our scholars and preachers warn us daily of the great day and its soon coming. Signs are everywhere worldwide. When Jesus steps out on a cloud and calls, "Come up hither my bride, it is your wedding day!" That day when every head shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That day when the dead in Christ shall rise, and we who are alive will join them in the air, believe me that day is coming.
Will you be in that throng? Will you be able to bow your head in utter devotion, or in great fear knowing the judgment has come. Folks Heaven is real! Hell is real! Judgment is coming! Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Are you ready? It is our prayer that our entire ministry be one of seeking others to salvation! You still have time if you are breathing. But that moment when your last breath is drawn, it will be to late to make sure of your salvation!
"HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!"
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
The Light of the World is Jesus
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in.
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Come to the light, 'tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the light has dawned upon me.
Once I was blind, but now I can see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!
If you don't know Him, come to Him today!
