  • Jesus Leads Us to Eternal Light

    Jesus Leads Us to Eternal Light
    Sep 23 2024
    Jesus - the Light of the World - did not simply come to illumine our lives here but to lead us to His everlasting light! Revelation holds before us the hope of the new creation, our eternal abode where God’s presence, glory, and light (the lamp of the Lamb) alone beautify us and satisfy our every need. There may or may not be a literal sun and moon in the new cosmos; either way, the lamp of Christ is sufficient to make the saints resplendent. Moreover, the absence of night and darkness here emphasizes the fact that (1) nothing from the old world will be able to hinder God’s glorious presence from filling the new creation; and (2) God’s children will enjoy unhindered access to the full presence of Yahweh. God’s presence does not fully dwell in this creation because evil still resides here, and our access to God here is limited to faith, not actual sight. In the new creation, however, the age-long benediction of Numbers 6 reaches its fullest possible extent where God’s face forever and unhindered shines upon us.

  • Jesus Makes You to Shine

    Jesus Makes You to Shine
    Sep 16 2024
    When Jesus came into our heart with all of His light, He re-made us to shine His light right where we live, work, worship, and play. God didn’t give us His light so that it could be hidden or kept on the DL; rather, God gave us His light that we would shine brightly. Moreover, Jesus underscores our identity and calling when He says: “You, yourselves (emphasis), are the light of the world. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” This identity and calling is unique to Christians; no other people on earth can truly illumine this world. Moreover, we enlighten this world and bring glory to God when we do good works in His name, which is precisely what God has prepared in advance for us to do (Eph 2:10).

  • Jesus is the Transformative Light of the World

    Jesus is the Transformative Light of the World
    Sep 9 2024
    In a world that was captive to the darkness of sin, evil, and the evil one, God sent His Son to bring us true light. Granted, His light exposes our sin, yet just as quickly, He expels it from the deepest recesses of our being. In this way, exposure to His powerful light actually brings freedom and release from even the oldest habits, hurts, and hang-ups. As “children of the light” now, Jesus calls us (1) to walk as children of the light (i.e., in all that is good and right and true); (2) to discern what is pleasing to the Lord; (3) to take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness; and (4) to actually expose such works of darkness.
