“The Light of All Mankind”

 “The Light of All Mankind”

 

In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.     John 1:4-5

 

LIFE, the MOST IMPORTANT thing a person possesses.  Physically speaking, to lose LIFE is a TRAGIC thing.  Spiritually speaking, your SPIRITUAL LIFE is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than your PHYSICAL LIFE, because your PHYSICAL LIFE is temporary, but your SPIRITUAL LIFE will LAST throughout ETERNITY.  And you WILL spend it SOMEWHERE, either in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPING, once you are there, this will be the demise of those who REBEL against GOD, and will NOT ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION.  This would be beyond DISASTROUS!  Or, for those who have ACCEPTED God’s Gift of SALVATION, they will spend ALL of their ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Which will it be, for YOU?

 

ALL LIFE comes from CHRIST, in verse three, we see that:  “Through Him (Jesus Christ), ALL things were made; without Him NOTHING was made that has been made.”   And that LIFE was the LIGHT of ALL MANKIND.  LIGHT in the Bible, usually signifies GOD or His Son, who is not ONLY the SOURCE of LIFE, but He is the LIGHT of ALL MANKIND.  And the DARKNESS denotes SIN, DEATH, and SEPARATION from the ALMIGHTY GOD.  God looked down on this wretched world, and saw that it was SHROUDED in DARKNESS, and in DESPERATE NEED of a SAVIOR, someone WORTHY to be the LIGHT of ALL MANKIND.  So He sent His ONLY SON, Jesus to be that LIGHT.  HE came as a NEWBORN BABE, lying in a MANGER, and grew up as a MAN with the mission of SAVING the WORLD, by DISPELLING the DARKNESS, with His GLORIOUS LIGHT.  That LIGHT, has NOT nor will it ever become OVERPOWERED by the DARKNESS.  The LIGHT of ALL MANKIND is the VICTOR.  And Satan and his subjects, will defy the LIGHT, but they CANNOT and WILL NOT, be able to PREVENT Its POWER.  The LIGHT of ALL MANKIND will be VICTORIOUS in spite of the DARKNESS.  

 

So, if you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, and you are LIVING in DARKNESS, your destiny is a SPIRITUAL DEATH, with an ETERNITY in HELL, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You don’t have to LIVE in the DARKNESS, you have the OPPORTUNITY to come OUT of the DARKNESS and into the GLORIOUS LIGHT of ALL MANKIND. And to have SPIRITUAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  To do that, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and COME OUT of the DARKNESS and INTO the GLORIOUS LIGHT of ALL MANKIND.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
