BATHE IN HIS LIFE-GIVING LIGHT

November 10

Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

John introduced us to the Messiah, Lord and Savior of mankind, in these unique words In Him was life; and the life was the light of men (John 1:4).

A long time ago, when our planet was in chaos, the face of the Lord shined upon it, and brought order (Gen 1:2,3). One day, our Savior’s face will shine again upon our world, upon its chaos and will again separate the ‘Light’ from the ‘darkness’.

Be they social, political or economic, the problems of our planet are very easy to solve. If we could bring our world to bathe for a single moment in the Light of the face of God, everything would resolve of itself. Why don’t we do it?

People today are afraid of the Light. The Light of God exposes our true self as we really are, and it is sometimes hard to take. Jesus said, For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved (John 3:21). John said that because of this, the Messiah’s countrymen, His Own, did not receive Him as that Light. The narration of John’s gospel quotes, And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John 1:5,11.

Let us fearlessly bathe in the Light of God. Let’s allow him to burn the unessentials of our lives and get us in balance with His Spirit. It is easy to forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when grown men are afraid of sthe light.
