1st John 1:5. “This then is the message we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” GOD IS LIGHT. Darkness was surrounding all that was made Until “The Voice” spoke, “Let there be light!” The light Source, the eternal Energy, the Power – Released from the infinite storehouse of His Person – All that was needed to light the trillions of stars Light before the sun even shone, the brilliant orb of the sun, Light generated – light reflected – physical light – moral light, All came from Him who is light in His being – He is God: for “God is Light!”
The light of deity casts no shadows – leaves no dark spots. The light that shone over the dark earth was His light. The light that shone in Goshen when all the rest of Egypt was dark – The light from the pillar of fire that followed Israel lighting up the night – The Shekinah light behind the curtain of separation in the tabernacle The light of “His Star” over “The Child” after 400 years of spiritual darkness – The light that was seen when the blind saw for the first time The Light of the world – “Jesus” –He is God: for “God is Light!”
The light dawning from the striving of the Holy Spirit – The light from the real conviction of sin revealing its awfulness The light from the pages of the Bible that bring understanding – The light of life that starts a new walk with God – The light of the Word as a lamp to my feet and a light to my path – The light of morality that sends denizens of darkness running to hide The light in the faces of those who love the name and Person of Jesus – He is the True Light “that lighteth every man that cometh into the world” – He is God: for “God is Light!” “Father of lights, there is light here in this place though there is a lot of darkness around. There are those whose life is like a candle, easily seen though small compared to the huge amount of darkness. May I be able to stir the flame of these candles to unite and give the light of a “city set on a hill.” In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
