"His Voice Today"
November 7
🔸️ Our life should be the Light for the World! 🔸️
The Lord once said of Himself, "I am the light of the World when I am in the World" (John 9:5). But after Jesus left this World, He appointed us "the light of the World" (Matthew 5:14). This is the greatest responsibility of any true Christian!!
The light that Jesus Christ revealed is not some Sermons or teachings!! That, too, is not even the New Testament truth!! He shone His life as the Light. It is from the life of Jesus that the Divine characteristics shone to us!! "We have got the Light"...we are claiming the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the victory over sin and further such truths, as the light that we have received. But it is not ... We must shine the light of the "life of the Lord Jesus!"
It is written twice in the New Testament that "no one has ever seen God." Yes, it was Jesus who first revealed to us about God (John 1:18). When Jesus put His hands on a leper's shoulder and hugged him, He revealed "what God is like"! When He expelled the cashiers from the temple, He revealed "what God is like!" That Jesus has now gone to Heaven!
Just as the Disciples saw Father in Jesus, people today could see God abiding in us and that God is with our Church, "if we love one another"! (1John 4:12).
Those who keeps watching us in the Church, should be able to know "How is Christ like!", through us. Thus if we fail to reflect the “life of Jesus” through our lives, we are deviating from our main calling!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! Not just by Sermons, give us the grace to make our lives as the light which can be seen by others, like Jesus! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
