Jesus said;
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
John 12:46
What is darkness?
Darkness is the absence of light.
It is the system of the world that has been promoted to us that we have followed like a trail to destiny. But has left us defeated, depressed, downtrodden, discouraged. all the time promoting its good yet in the end leaving us in failure and anguish of heart.
The scriptures tell us God is light.
and in Him is no darkness at all.
They also tell us That this Word of God is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Psalms 119:105
{Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.}
Light shows you where you are at for in a dark room you do not know where the door is, the way in or the way out. When the light is on you can move about freely because the light has exposed where things are. God’s Word does this for us. It reveals to us where we are at in life and shows us where we can go. That is why it is a light to our path for it imparts the necessary understanding and wisdom so that we can have purpose and direction in life. For when we can see clearly where we are then with the goal of being Christ like we have the light in our way to show us how to go in that direction.
You can be in perfect darkness yet God will be a light to you though His son Jesus Christ.
Micah 7:8b
When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me.
We can become sons of the light. When we are born again we are.
John 12:36a While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
1John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
Jesus Christ shone the light of His Father so we could also become sons of the light and shine forth that same light to our hurting world this light which is God and His Word will lift us out of the depravity of this world and fill us with hope and joy.
What he do - What accomplish here?
He restored us to the Father.
He came to give us his life, Gods life, spiritual life and its richness now. Not just eternal life but now here in the present time, a life to the fullest extent, exceeding abundant, in all categories of life. He came in at the point of our need and lifted us up to God’s high place of excellence.
Jesus came to lead us to the true light and to save us by our believing in him, recognizing the Father sent him for us. It does not matter your status in life, how rich or poor you are or what county you live in he came for you.
John 12:44 Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.
45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
Jesus came to give the rest we so desperately need because the world has wore us down and burned us out. It’s lies have deceived us and left us to die. Jesus came in at that point of true need, ffering rest to our weary souls.
Jesus said:
Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
What does he offer and for those who accept him and follow his leading?
To heal your broken heart
To proclaim freedom to your captivity -held captive by the world's lies and half truths-
To open the blind eyes - to heal your body-
To set at liberty those that are oppressed. Who have been crushed, and defeated by the systematizing of error in this evil world.
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
Jesus Christ did not come to give us religion, religion puts us in bondage and makes beggars out of us. You look at any major world religion and it makes beggars out of the people. Jesus Christ came to set us free. To lift us to the Father and His glory, His excellence. This way we could come boldly before the throne of grace and find grace to help in time of need. We no longer need to beg or cower before our Father we only need come before Him boldly to find the answer and help for our need.
Jesus came to tell us that God is real, that He loves us and the sacrifice of his son has made us lovely and acceptable in His sight. That our Father in not angry with us but longs for us to have a deep, intimate and eternal relationship with Him. The result being we could enjoy life now to the fullest in harmony with our God. Now our joy can be full.
John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Jesus laid down his life for us so that when he arose to new life we would arise with him and be filled with his same joy.
These are just a few of the great truths that reveal and unlock the doors to Why Jesus Christ came and the Father’s great desire for us to fellowship together. For our lives to become filled with His eternal love, light, goodness and peace.
No longer do we need to be defeated in any category of life. For in him we are sons of light and no longer are we held captive to living in darkness. But we are children of the King and members of His royal household once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our savior.
Why are we here now?
We are here to continue the work of Jesus Christ and bring light, hope and encouragement to our hurting world.
