The True Light
The true Light which gives light to every man.
- John 1:6-11-
The Lord Jesus is described as the Light.
God sent John the Baptist to bear witness of the Light.
John came to announce the arrival of the promised Messiah that all through him might believe.
John the Baptist had a great ministry. But he was not that Light. He was sent to bear witness of that Light.
There is no inner light in us to clear away the fog of ignorance and sin within the human heart. Enlightenment comes from Someone outside of ourselves.
Enlightenment comes from the Lord Jesus who is the true Light which gives light to every man.
The Lord Jesus gives light to all types of people from all nations as they hear the gospel.
The Lord Jesus came into the world that He had made. But He was not recognized.
His own Jewish nation did not receive Him.
They had been waiting for the promised Messiah for centuries. John the Baptist had pointed them to Him. They had witnessed His mighty miracles. They had heard His wonderful teaching.
But their understanding was darkened. They despised the Light of the world. They rejected Him and killed him.
How about us? Are we rebelling against the light that God has made known to us through His holy Word or do we gladly own Jesus as our Savior and Lord?
