Before we begin our Bible study Let us recite this verses:
A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)
B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)
If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:
A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).
“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light”
“vai·yo·mer e·lo·him ye·hi o·vr; vay·hi-o·vr” (Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated)
Christmas is all about the birth of God's light called Jesus |
As God’s spirit was moving on the surface of the water which was packed in Ice under darkness.God moved with compassion the love of God didn’t stop with the chaos of earth.God created earth with plan and that plan had been being thwarted by the devil temporarily.The evil one might have happy because of the seeing of chaotic condition of the earth which was not according to God’s plan.The darkness was not God’s plan it was the devil’s presence.Because the Bible says: “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” ( John 1:5).Christmas is all about the Light of God shinning in the darkness of this world.Christmas is let there be light 24X7.
God even though sentenced the devil and the fallen angels to eternal fire and as they were on the earth due to rebellion in God’s presence.The love of God’s spirit couldn’t stop to restore the chaotic earth.God was groaning in the spirit seeing the condition of the earth which was meant for the mankind.Man’s condition is similar apart from the regeneration in Christ.Man has void and empty with darkness in his soul and mind without the spirit of God dwelling and having relationship with the true creator.If you are not identified with the true creator in your life remember darkness destroys your life.How many lives or being destroyed each and every second on this planet earth due to various problems some are dying due to diseases,sinful life, accidents due to others negligence (driving while drunken), murdered, robbed, bombed, cruelly beaten mercilessly until death in enemies prison, hanged, raped, sexually abused, suicide due to various reasons of life. “Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed” ( John 3:20).
Satan the killer comes not to bless but to destroy mankind |
All this makes us so sad but the one who is well wisher of all these things to happen on this earth is the satan he wants the whole world to be ruined and in darkness because the hell was created for him and his angels so he wants some followers to be in the hell.Hell is not created for man but for satan and those follow satan will spent their eternity in hell.Satan is there to destroy man’s life and Jesus Christ came to give light. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” ( John 10:10) .What do we mean by light? The contents of light means many think of physical light yes it is but divine light consists of the following:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12).
Jesus Christ is the light of the world. |
“For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ” (II Cor 4:6).
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law” ( Gal 5:22-23).
Wherever the spirit of God is there is light and life,the fruits of the light will break the powers of darkness.The believer is a living testimony of a light of life amidst of the darkness filled in this world.The worldly knowledge and technology doesn’t give man this light of life given alone by the spirit of God. Those who are in darkness has no light because their deeds are evil.
God is the light and he said in the beginning that there will be light on the chaotic earth and there was light .The Hebrew word used for light is “ower”. “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned” ( Isaiah 9:2).
Dear reader if you are facing are fighting the powers of darkness remember God already said there will be light and when you trust Jesus as the savior in your life the light of Jesus will fight the darkness and give victory of light.Remember wherever the light there will be no darkness.The believers life on earth is a struggle between the reflecting of divine light around the pervaded darkness in the devil dominion with authority and anointing.
““For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” (John 5:8).
“Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.” (John 12:35-36).
And the Lord God will give them light. |
“There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever” (Rev22:5).
Christmas is the birth of God's light Jesus on the this planet of darkness.To give the light of life in fulness.
Let's Pray:Our Heavenly Father!God of light and peace we remember all the people in the world who suffer because of war, hurricanes, floods, famine, drought and the oppression of injustice. We ask that you will bring justice, peace, healing and plenty to these people.
