True Light.


Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 
Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 
Joh 1:6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 
Joh 1:7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 
Joh 1:8  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 
Joh 1:9  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 
Joh 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 
Joh 1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 
Joh 1:12  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: 
Joh 1:13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 
Joh 1:14  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. 

Everyone that comes into this world will have the LIGHT of the Savior shine upon them. What happens after the LIGHT of our Savior shines upon a person is up to them. Some may protest and say the Light of Jesus has never touched them, not once. However it has, or it will in the time Jesus determines. No one will be able to say that they weren't given the light of truth from the Savior, the opportunity to know Him, to love Him.

'But as many as RECEIVED Him to them gave He the POWER to BECOME the sons of God- even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name.' 

The Light shines and we have to Receive that Light. Once we receive the light we are given the power to become the sons of GOD.

We have a Father in heaven, we have a Savior in heaven and they have sent the Holy Spirit to us to bring truth, to bring light to us. We have the hope of heaven that goes so far beyond ALL there is in this world, in this life. All the pain, all the horror, all the awfulness that exists IS NOT the only hope we have in our lives. This is NOT our world, this is NOT our true life, this is a temporary existence we live in until we are reunited with our Savior at His return. We can't forget these truths, we just can't. If we forget and begin to live with our hope in our lives now, expecting only good and glory now, without the hope of our Savior in eternity, we are going to suffer needlessly. Jesus came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, of hope in eternity, of hope in our heavenly home, this is what we need to focus on, our heavenly home.

May the Light of our Savior shine upon all of us and may we receive that Light!

All in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, now and forever!!!!!!!
