December 22, 2022 ~ Devotions: "The Light of the World"

 And so, I continue. . . . .

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works.  Psalms 26:7 KJV

John 12:45-46 ~ 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.  KJV  

Jesus made a way that we can avoid all darkness! The Light of the World wants us to believe in Him and Him alone for our salvation and way into the Light. Darkness can be scary. For those of us with poor vision anyway, it can almost immobilize us. Afraid to move for fear of falling. When we enter any space that is dim or dark, the first thing my husband will move to is the light switch. He cannot see without this light! He has macular degeneration and is legally blind in his right eye and his eyesight in this left eye is poor.  So yes, light is very important to him. 

But this isn't the light Jesus is speaking of in our verses. He was sent by God, to become the Light that would draw all men. In that darkness that surrounds us - He is definitely the Light at the end of the tunnel. He is the one that we should look to defeat the darkness's of our lives. He loves us, He died for us, He rose for us, went to heaven for us to prepare our homes so that one day we will live with Him for eternity-to-eternity never-ending eternity! As we face so many dangers today in our day to day lives, we can have that know so confidence that when we accepted Jesus as our Saviour, He became our "Guiding Light." Do you know Him as personal Saviour. If not, I beg you today to be saved. How? I'll tell You!

Yes, YOU can KNOW for sure that YOU are going to HEAVEN!

1. REALIZE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” - Romans 3:23

2. REALIZE THERE IS A PRICE ON SIN

“For the wages of sin is DEATH…” - Romans 6:23a

3. REALIZE JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR YOU

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US.”- Romans 5:8

4. REALIZE SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT REQUIRING ONLY

 A HEART DECISION

“...the gift of God is eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord.”  - Romans 6:23b

5. REALIZE YOU MUST NOW CALL UPON JESUS TO SAVE YOU

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL be saved.”  Romans 10:10 & 13

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SAVED RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN PRAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sins  and save me today. In Jesus’ name—Amen

"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!

May we be faithful as your Missionaries.

Philippians 2:16 

 Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

 Dear Jesus, help us to be worthy of Your sacrifice, securing our souls with the Light of your life and sacrifice.  May Your light shine in and through us as our reasonable service to You. Save the lost, encourage the saints please.  And help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You, giving YOU all our best with an open loving heart for the ministry and people. Help us Lord, to be wise in our home life and all that is going on with that. Thank you in advance, Lord, for working out our situation for a home in FL. Thank you to all who are praying for us.  I pray for those who have given of their finances, and that You will continue to supply. We know You are our Great Provider, and we can't thank you enough. We thank You Lord for Your wonderful mercy in Tom's eyes and ask that You heal him completely or at least allow the medication to work. Lord I also bring my eyes before you and I praise you Father that the report was good and there is NO MACULAR developing! Dr. Gallogly was confident when he gave us the good news. 

We ask Lord, that You would heal our dear friends and family. Bless our daughters, Nina, Jennifer, and Lita their husbands, children, grandchildren; especially with Lita's health we ask for Your healing touch in every area of her life. Thank you that she is getting in home care now - a true answer to prayer. We love You Lord and thank You for first loving us. Amen.
