AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT (CHRISTMAS) DAY!

Jesus is the light of the day for world

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:5 (KJV)

“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

After restoring earth from chaos, God told that there be light and there was light and God separated the light from darkness.

Here we see God started naming light as day and darkness as night.

Throughout the Bible we see God  called light as day. We see whole world today is under the night of Satan’s darkness. God sent Jesus Christ His son to this world as a light of the world so is the beginning of the day to the world since God’s creation.

Mankind and man made religions have searched for this day to come out of the darkness called night of death to immortality. When Adam died by transgressing the darkness has survived mankind by losing the spirit of God. All the dominion was handed over to satan.God wished Adam and eve to be the ruler of this earth over all creation (Gen 1:28).But the scenario has been changed due to disobedience to God’s command.Both literal and day and night has come under spiritual darkness in the world today. Sin is controlling the lives of people day and night. God has planned a day of light to be revealed to mankind through Jesus. Christmas is the day of revelation of God’s light and love to mankind living under the ruler ship of satan.We don’t know the exact date of Christ birth but sure the day was existed as a day of light when Christ born and still taking birth in the hearts of millions of people around the world.

The true Christmas light Jesus

"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it".(John 1:5).

Jesus is the day of light in Christmas where man has the hope that he will not fail while he walks in the light of Jesus. "Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world’s light.It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light.”

(John 11:9-10).

Christmas is the day of light to the world walking in night and stumbling lives. Dear Reader are you walking in darkness in night come to light of the world Jesus. If you walk with Him you will not stumble. You might be facing very difficult situations right now which no one can understand but if you take refuge in Jesus you are not going to stumble in your situations.

The Light of the world born wrapped in clothes in a manger

The shepherds who were taking care of the sheep  saw the angel during night proclaiming the day of light to the world."And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:8-11).

God named His Son Jesus and Emmanuel (Matt 1:21-23).

The God’s word says people who were living in the land and shadow of death saw the dawning of light."

The people living in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of death

a light has dawned.”(Matt 4:16-17).

Gaddafi pleading his people not to kill Him

Now let us see where the land of death is situated? We see death is inevitable and everywhere. No religion. race, ethnicity, culture is exception of death. All mankind is bond to death. You may be Rich or poor but death is sure to man. Recently whole world witnesses the news regarding the death of Muammar colonel Gaddafi’s death incident where he requested his own people not to kill him. He might have never never expected such a kind of death while spending millions of money on his life and security. Remember the world dictator’s like Alexander the great, Genghis khan,Nebuchadnezzer,Adolf Hitler,Fiedel Castro, Mao Zedong,Saddam Hussein, Bin laden and recent death of muammar gaddafi.None have escaped death. Death is inevitable in the wolrd.Death in every continent, nation, culture, religion, race, tribes and languages. Only the living God Jesus can release you from the bondage of death.

"No king is saved by the size of his army;

no warrior escapes by his great strength.

A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;

despite all its great strength it cannot save.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,

on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

to deliver them from death

and keep them alive in famine.

We wait in hope for the Lord;

he is our help and our shield.

In him our hearts rejoice,

for we trust in his holy name.

May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,

even as we put our hope in you.

(Psalm 33:16-22).

The Christmas light of day is shining in this world since before 2011 years 24x7 every second, every minute, every day and every year. May the light of King of Kings and Lord of Lords shine on your life during this Christmas.

Let's pray: Our Father in Heaven! Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth may we begin to see the world in the light of the understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of sharing your love.In Jesus Name we pray! AMEN!
