| SUNSET - THE "LIGHT" GOING DOWN |
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7 KJV
John 12:35-36 ~ 35 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. KJV
The Light of the World, Jesus is speaking the last words of His "public" ministry, appealing to those who do not Believe on Him, that time is running out for them. He only came to minister for a few years, and His life before His Baptism and public ministry is not recorded for us. But these LAST three and a half years that He did minister, were public. His goal to teach, reach, heal, draw all men to Him, The Light and Hope for the world. In two short days He would be crucified, and after these words, as you can see in the latter part of verse 36, Jesus ". . .departed, and did hide himself from them." He would soon be leaving. He knew His time was short, and the last two days of His life He spoke and reminded them that He would soon leave them. He would be tortured, ridiculed, crucified. He did not want the disciples to think He was leaving them with just a memory of Him, but He had to go so that the comforter would come.John 14:26 - But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 - But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
We are truly blessed among men. Not only did the Father send His Son to die for us, but He also sent the Holy Spirit to teach us, guide us, remind us, of all the things we would need to know to be saved, live a Christian life, and serve Him until His return. And folks He is coming back. Maybe you are 80-90 years old, and you have heard that all your life, and He hasn't come yet, but it doesn't mean it isn't so or that He won't come soon. The Bible teaches us that when the "time" comes, He will step out on that cloud and call HIS children to glory. I'm ready, so ready. Are you? Are you confident that when that day arrives, you will go to heaven. This world has gone way too far and just as in Noah's days, they have been warned for years and years and years. Preached from the pulpits all around the world, on the streets, hamlets, mountains, Jesus is LORD come to Him the Saviour of the World, and yet so many have rejected Him.
Christians, what are you doing for the Lord. Are you prepared to stand before Him and lay your crowns at His feet? Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. His warning in these last days on earth, remind us that we are looking for the day when the trump shall sound and all that we know will be behind us.
So, I ask again, are you ready? Are your children, grandchildren, family saved and know they are going to heaven? Who are you going to leave behind because you didn't tell them about our Saviour? Our lives are open books. People either see Christ in us, or they don't - and if they don't see Him, who's fault is it? May God have mercy on us and the souls that we reach for Him.
A special request, and if you have read this far, please tell me in a message, text, comment that you will pray for our daughter Lita. She needs a special touch from heaven today! Thank you and have a blessed and wonderful day.
"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!
