Christ’s
true light has so much power that it “lighteth” or “enlightens” every man and
women in this world. Christ came to this
world to bring His “true light” but this world did not recognize Him or
comprehend that He had brought them this divine light. Why? Because
many did not believe on Him as their Lord and Savior, they were not able to
comprehend Christ’s “true Light” Even though Christ brought light to everyone;
those who did not accept Him were left in darkness, misunderstanding, and
unbelief.
Spiritual
life is made possible to everyone who believes in Christ as the “true
Light”. Because Christ’s “true Light”
has shown in the darkness of this sin cursed world, no one can say that there
is no salvation for them. St. John’s
Gospel 1:12 states, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” So, those who receive Him are given the
understanding necessary to comprehend His true truth because of the fact that
Christ shines His “true Light” into their hearts and lives.
I want
to discuss one more wonderful truth about lost men and women becoming God’s
children. St John 1:13 explains that, “None of us became God’s spiritual
children by natural birth. Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.” We have been given the power (exousia
1849) i.e. the privilege of becoming God’s children by the love, mercy and
great grace of God! So, I believe that a
time of praise to God is very much in order this morning. Praise God for His true truth and His true
light that have been freely bestowed upon us all! I suggest that you should spend the rest of
this day praising God for his marvelous gift of salvation!
