Jesus does not content Himself with a place beside other teachers, saying, “I will give you light,” but affirms that the light is inseparable from His own person. “I am the light.” By this He means, as already observed, that it is by receiving Him as our life that we have light. But His words also mean that He imparts this light not by oral teaching, but by being what He is, and living as He does. Teaching by word and precept is well, when nothing better can be had; but it is the Word made flesh that commands the attention of all. This is a language universally intelligible. [Christ's Life,] the highest conceivable, on almost the lowest conceivable stage, and recorded in the simplest form, with indifference to all outward accompaniments attractive whether to the few or to the many, is set before us as the final and unalterable ideal of human life, amid all its continual and astonishing changes. It is by this life led here on earth He becomes our Light. It is by His faith maintained in the utmost of trial; His calmness and hopefulness amidst all that shrouds human life in darkness; His constant persuasion that God is in this world, present, loving, and working. It is by His habitual attitude towards this life, and towards the unseen, that we receive light to guide us. In His calmness we take refuge from our own dismay. In His hopefulness we refresh ourselves in every time of weariness. In His confidence our timorous anxieties are rebuked. Upon the darkest parts of our life there falls from Him some clear ray that brightens and directs. Thousands of His followers, in every age, have verified His words: “I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” And as the Teacher taught by living so must the scholar learn by living. Christ brings light by passing through all human experiences and situations, and “he that followeth” Him, not he that reads about Him, “shall have the light of life.” There are very few men in the world who can think to much purpose on truths so abstruse and complicated as the Divinity of Christ and the Atonement and Miracles; but there is no man so dull as not to see the difference between Christ’s life and His own. Few men may be able to explain satisfactorily the relation Christ holds to God on the one hand and to us on the other; but every man who knows Christ at all even as he knows his friend or his father, is conscious that a new light falls upon sin of all kinds, upon sins of appetite and sins of temper and sins of disposition, since Christ lived. It is in this light Christ would have us walk, and if we follow as He leads on, we shall never lack the light of life. We need not be seriously disturbed about the darkness that hangs round the horizon if light falls on our own path; we need not be disturbed by our ignorance of many Divine and human things, nor by our inability to answer many questions which may be put to us, and which indeed we naturally put to ourselves, so long only as we are sure we are living so as to please and satisfy Christ. If our life runs on the lines His life marked out, we shall certainly arrive where He now is, in the happiest and highest human condition.

Verses from 1 Peter [from the Bible] that I used in my poem ”Salvation”:

”³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in Heaven for you, ⁵ who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1 Peter 1:3-5)

”In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” (1 Peter 1:6)

”These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:7)

”⁸ Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:8-9)

”¹³ Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at His coming. ¹⁴ As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. ¹⁵ But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; ¹⁶ for it is written: ’Be holy, because I am Holy.’ ” (1 Peter 1:13-16)

”¹⁷ Since you call on a Father Who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. ¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the Precious Blood of Christ, a Lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1:17-19)

”Through Him you believe in God, Who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” (1 Peter 1:21)

”²² Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. ²³ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” (1 Peter 1:22-23)

”¹ Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. ² Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, ³ now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” (1 Peter 2:1-3)

”⁴ As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— ⁵ you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4-5)

”For it was written in the Scripture: 'See, I lay a Stone in Zion, a chosen and precious Cornerstone, and the One who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.” (1 Peter 2:6)

”⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His Wonderful Light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10)

”¹¹ Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. ¹² Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” (1 Peter 3:11-12)

”¹⁵ For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. ¹⁶ Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. ¹⁷ Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.” (1 Peter 3:15-17)

”¹⁸ Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. ¹⁹ For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. ²⁰ But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. ²¹ To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” (1 Peter 3:18-21)

”¹ Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. ² As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. ³ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. ⁴ They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. ⁵ But they will have to give account to Him Who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.” (1 Peter 4:1-6)

”⁷ The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. ⁸ Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. ⁹ Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” (1 Peter 4:7-9)

”¹⁰ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ¹¹ If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:10-11)

”¹⁴ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. ¹⁵ If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. ¹⁶ However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.” (1 Peter 4:14-16)

”So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their Faithful Creator and continue to do good.” (1 Peter 4:19)

”¹ To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: ² Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; ³ not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.” (1 Peter 5:1-4)

”⁵ In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” ⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time. ⁷ Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:5-7)

”⁸ Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. ¹⁰ And the God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” (1 Peter 5:8-10)

Good Morning!☀️

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 12:46

God is light, and in him there is no darkness. (1 John 1:5) God sent his son Jesus in the likeness of sinful flesh yet without sin. Though in the likeness of flesh his light still shone bright, pointing the way to the Father.

It is one thing to be in darkness. It is quite another thing to abide there, that is, to stay there. Jesus came so we would not have to remain in the dark. Where his light is allowed to shine darkness has to flee and has no place to return to.

Are there parts of your life that remain in the darkness? Why not let the light of Jesus shine there and remove the darkness? Dare to believe on him and watch his light shine more and more in your life!

John 3:19-20

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Let's be honest with ourselves; we are comfortable in our sin. No one wants to change his ways because sin brings pleasure and satisfies the desires of the heart. No one wants his actions to be judged, but rather justified. It’s why many shy away from the light, preferring to hide in the shadows.

Because the shadows promote a false sense of freedom that says that we can do whatever we want without any consequences... because doing what makes one happy is what’s most important to God, right?

The darkness offers satisfaction, but that satisfaction is only temporary.

The darkness promotes living your best life now, but this side of life is not even a fraction compared to eternity.

The darkness says to do whatever your heart desires, but the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.

The darkness wants you to drink the kool-aid, but Jesus offers a spring of living water that never runs dry, that whosoever drinks from it will never thirst again.

The darkness gives an illusion of life, but the truth of the matter is that a life without Christ is a life already dead.

And until one recognizes his need for a Savior, the dark will always appear to be more appealing, and the light less desirable. Sin, darkness, is the world's number one silent killer.

John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:9-10

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Hi, today I would love to share with you a poem that is special to me. It's called ”My Salvation”. I wrote it today (on 29th April 2023). I struggled with starting to write these days but I finally can do it again and feel the joy that's coming from it. I'm glad that I can share it with you.

My Salvation

He saved me from the darkness

He saved me from being brokenhearted

He saved me from constant anxiety

He saved me from the enemy

He saved me from all of my traumas

He saved me from having all painful flashbacks

He is my Savior, Way and Truth

He is the Light that never stops shining on our hearts

His Holy Arms are always opened to welcome you

For He is there to the very end of the age to lead you

To the lovely Kingdom of His Father who is Merciful

He created us with love and peace, made us feel so grateful

For He gave us His only Begotten Son to break every chain

He died on the cross in a brutal way

For us to be saved with Holy Spirit, Him and His Father

He broke the chain of the sickness

He broke the chain of the intrusive thoughts

He broke the chain of what seemed to be a never ending sadness

He took away from me all of this always judging voice

He died for us and showed us the greatest love

He was perfect, Holy, made of pure love and hope

In Him our strength, joy, peace that cannot be overcome

In Him there is a power for He is the Lord of Lords

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Song I recommend you to listen:

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” —1 John 1:7 (KJV)

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].” —1 John 1:5‭-‬7 (AMP)

You can’t be right with God or get to His Kingdom without Jesus Christ. #jesusisthewaythetruthandthelife

Jesus didn’t just make a way, He is the way. #jesustheway

You don’t have any other way, Jesus is the only way! #jesusistheway

So many roads, so many detours, so many choices, but only one way, Jesus. #jesuschrist

6 Jesus saith, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”- John 14:6 #jesusthewaythetruththelife

The admission to heaven is faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only way. There is no other philosophy, no religion, no other way. #onlyjesusistheway

Jesus is NOT one of the many ways to approach God, nor is He the BEST of several ways, HE IS THE ONLY WAY! #jesus
