Today's Message: True Source of Light
We may be walking, talking, breathing flesh, but if we do not have God with us we have no life, if we have no life we live in darkness and can not see what the True Source of Light is.

The book of John is the 43rd book of the Bible, 4th book of the New Testament, and contains twenty-one chapters. The author of the book is John, a disciple of Jesus, and it was written to All believers, to whom John portrays Jesus as the Son of God. The purpose of the book was to show All that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God, and the way to everlasting life. What we are to learn from the book is Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and the only source of salvation and everlasting life.

The story of Jesus, the Gospels, the Commandments, the Old and New Testaments are all apart of God's Word, it was here even before the world was created. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” - John 1:1-5. All things were made by God and it is Him that gives us life. Without God there would not even have been life, we are not just some specks that emerged into a human being we are created by One Living God who gives us life. The word light has many definitions, but the one that grabbed my attention most is, an illuminating agent or source, as the sun. The sun is the biggest source of light to the human eye. However, there is one light that shines above anything that the sun can touch and that light is God.

John the Baptist was not only sent by God, but was also named by God. The word "John" means "God's gift", and John was a gift of God, sent to man, to bear witness of the Light. That Light, is Jesus Christ. “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world..........And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” - John 1:6-9,14. Jesus Christ is the Word of God in the flesh, He is the Living Word and the true Light who gives us life. Every person, no, every embryo created was not done by accident, they were created by God for a purpose. Everything that has life is created by God and was even known to be before this earth was created. God created your body and soul, but He also gave us the free will to either come into the Light and live by His grace and truth or live in darkness.

When God first created man, He gave him a body (the physical flesh), a soul (the mind/conscious), and a spiritual body (Spirit of God/Life). This is a complete body that has life to it, but when man sinned God took away the spiritual body, leaving it incomplete, lifeless, and dark. Every person that is born is incomplete, having no spiritual body. However, God did not want us to be lifeless so He decided to make a way for us to be able to receive that life. That way is to be reborn in the Spirit through Jesus Christ. Jesus Said, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” - John 3:6,7. In order to have the flesh and Spirit as one we must be born again and the only way to be born again is by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” - Romans 5:8-12.

We truly are a bunch of lifeless souls when we do not have Jesus in our lives, we may think we have everything under control or that we are happy and free, but deep down we are just a bunch of robots trying to bring life to our lifeless souls, living in the dark. Not one person reading this can tell me that there was not a time in their lives when they have felt that way. We do not have to be lifeless and dark, we can be alive and shine so bright that everyone that passes us by needs sunglasses. That light only comes from the True Light, Jesus Christ. That Light shines so bright that every person, even those who live in the world can see life in you.

Have a wonderful and blessed day/night
God Bless You,
Christina
