The Light Of The World

 

I am the light of the world. I am joy everlasting! Like the bright Eastern star, I appeared before mankind as the guide to where redemption is found.

 

And so humbly I came, just a babe in a manger. However, My birth could not have been more significant, for on that day eternal hope was born unto man, held within a wee infant. Yet, who would have thought such a modest crib could ever boast of such nobility, and been given this high honor of being the birthplace of the Messiah, the One who was sent to save the whole world?

 

A trough of hay and stubble was where I first lay My head, swaddled in the Father’s love, for the very heart of God above pulsated in My tiny chest, beating in time with His perfect will. What was prophesied long ago knew its fulfillment in the midst of ignoble creatures, as these lowly beasts were witnesses to the greatest miracle ever known to mankind.

 

And so without distinction I was born, for none that stumbled upon this pastoral scene would have thought much of the occasion. Nothing about My introduction to humanity spoke of the deity I carried, or the future crown I would wear. But those who were “sent” knew I was no ordinary child, for God himself had dispatched messengers to proclaim “Christ the King is here!”, the One who would birth the joy of salvation in the souls of mankind, even those overwhelmed with sorrow and despair.

 

Let this season when My birth is celebrated be a time of reflection as your thoughts settle in upon the real blessing found in Christmas. While the giving of gifts was meant to be a symbolic gesture of what the world received when I was born, sadly, this act has become the focal point of the whole holiday. And although many have a small rendition of My first coming displayed upon their mantels or under their trees, yet because the busyness of the hour has captured their attention, most have missed this small reminder that I am the One and only gift they will ever need.

 

So while generosity is always encouraged, let your giving this year carry a deeper meaning, where each gift you bestow upon another is given with thankful hearts towards the Father in Heaven: the One who sent Me to pay for your redemption: the One whose very life was born to be sacrificed so that you might live.

 

“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

For surely do they crave the smell of human destruction.

Israel: Ruination Is Indeed Your Lot!

Hear Me, Israel: “…there shall be no avoiding the coming retribution, as surely have you acted out of turn, and took into your hands that which did not belong to you. Then do not think, Israel, that you are off the hook. For surely before Me do you stand guilty as charged, and so shall I repay you, Israel, the due penalty you are owed for the atrocities you are even now committing! “Woe, then do I say to you, Israel, woe. For ruination is indeed your lot!’

Let The Stargazers Appear

Even still shall those stargazers come forth, as they will lead My children back to those ancient paths which have long been forgotten. And so is a renaissance coming; yet is it already here. However, “unexpected” shall this renewal be, for most would not even think that I would point My children back to gazing at the stars. Yet is that precisely My aim, for there is much to uncover down that ancient route. And so do I say now, “Let the stargazers appear!”

More Disruptions Are Coming!

Indeed then, have I come in this hour to disrupt the systems and structures of the Church. Thus am I now speaking, “Disrupt, disrupt, disrupt! For I am not content to leave things as they are and, as such, the status quo must now be disrupted. For far too long has the Church been sitting back and simply resting upon her laurels.” Then let the Church now be forewarned, for more disruptions are coming!
