The Light Way

1 Thessalonians 5:14, 16

Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy.

Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who

are weak. Be patient with everyone. No matter what happens

always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to

Christ Jesus.  (NLT)

     As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, Christians must live in the Light of God’s Truth. The Lord has commissioned us to shine His Light of eternal life on those who live in darkness. The life-saving Truth that we carry in our hearts is not just for a select few, but for everyone to hear and accept. Without the Truth we won’t find much peace or any lasting joy in this dark world that is crying out for some blessed light that would give real hope.  Sadly, the lost souls of this struggling world are dependent upon their governments, other people, or on themselves to meet their needs, rather than depending on their Creator and Provider.  Many people will discover, as I did, just how hopeless this difficult life becomes without God’s direction and provision, because when you trust and rely on the world’s array of empty promises you will inevitably find yourself dissatisfied, discouraged, bitter and resentful, and angry at the world or God or both for your seemingly hopeless circumstances. 

     This is why believing Christians must not hide in the Truth they have and then sit back looking forward to that great and awesome Day when Jesus Christ removes His Church. For when this day suddenly arrives, all hell will break lose and many lost and hopeless souls will lose their lives violently and forever—including people you know and love who have rejected Christ Jesus. Even though we are limited in our individual abilities to touch the masses, our God is not, for He is everywhere all of the time. As Jesus’ disciples, we are called to shed God’s much needed Light in this dark and damned world wherever we are, because there are many lost souls who are longing for what we know and have, because they are not finding it in the world.  Shine God’s Light, dear brothers and sisters, on the people trapped in their darkness, so they, too, can avoid that terrible day when God’s just wrath is poured out from the heavens to destroy all those who love themselves and the world rather than loving the Lord God Almighty and His Way.

                                                                  

                                         A Whisper of Truth

Carry My Message, dear child…Do not bury this treasure or hide in it, but shine the Light, so the lost can see where they are headed and avoid condemnation. Invest in the many lives that are desperate for hope and help them escape the darkness of the grave.  I AM that Blessed Hope.

Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given

complete authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore,

go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them

in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have

given you.  And be sure of this: I am with you always, even

to the end of the age. (NLT)

 God is Light and there is no darkness in Him at all.
