SIMPLY JESUS DEVOTIONAL - Sunday October 5 2014 - THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT



Sunday, October 5, 2014, Colossians 1:12,13
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

The Kingdom of Jesus is a Kingdom of Light!

The Ancient Prophets foretold it.   "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light." (Isaiah 9:2) 

The Dayspring, the source of all Light, He who is the Light--has risen with healing in His beams!  (Malachi 4:2).  Talk about Light Therapy!

The contemporaries of Jesus recognized it.  He gives light to a world that is sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death.  (Luke 1:79).  They called Him, "A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of God's people Israel."  (Luke 2:32).

Jesus testified of it, "I AM the LIGHT of the WORLD." (John 8:12).  

Jesus declared it, "As long as I am in the world, I AM THE LIGHT of the WORLD!" (John 9:5).

Then Jesus invited US TO THE LIGHT, "He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life!"  (John 8:12)

The disciples wrote of Him, "In JESUS was LIFE and the LIFE was THE LIGHT of men."  (John 1:4).

The world has learned of Him, "THE LIGHT" of JESUS "shined in darkness, and THE DARKNESS COULD NOT PUT IT OUT!"  (John 1:5)

CHRISTIANS can't get over THE QUALITY OF THIS LIGHT.  "God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness has shined in our hearts, to give THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD in OUR HEARTS!  (2 Corinthians 4:6). 

WITH PASSION, CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT ARE SENT TO   "Open the eyes [of this world], and TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, from the power of SATAN unto GOD!"  (Acts 26:18).

And wherever you find THOSE JOYFUL JESUS PEOPLE, you'll find them "Walking in the LIGHT as HE IS IN THE LIGHT," and enjoying the sweetest fellowship one with another..."  (I John 1:7).

WHO IS THIS LIGHT?  SIMPLY JESUS!
