“WALKING IN THE LIGHT!”
John 8:12 --- Then spake Jesus again, unto them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness; but shall have the light of life:
John 12:35 --- Then Jesus said unto them. “Yet a little while is the light with you, walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.
John 12:36 --- While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Ephesians 5:8 --- for ye were sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the lord; walk as children of light:
1 John 1: 7 --- 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.
Now, I want to stop here and ask a question: Who is the light? You might say, Jesus, but who made Jesus light? God did! God the Father was the light!
Look at John 1:7 --- It tells us who the light is! But if we walk in the light, as he (Jesus) is in the light, (do you see that?) we have fellowship one with another. (Look at this) --- (the blood of Jesus Christ his (God the Fathers son) cleanseth us from all sin: ) God the Father is the light! God the father created the heavens and the earth and one of his words were, “let there be light!” So, when we follow Jesus, we follow the light, or we follow God the Father:
Do you see that? Also, as you study of how the world, we live in was created, was by the words of God: Check it out at the beginning of the bible in Genesis: What God said, it became!
Genesis 1:3 --- And God said, “Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1: 14 --- And, God said, let there be light in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years:
Here you see, God the Father, who is light spoke our sun, stars and moon into being, to give light on the earth! So, we see that God is light, Jesus, his Son, walk in that light of God the father and told us to walk in that same light:
Note: Where there is light, there is no darkness:
1 John 2:9 & 10 --- V9 --- He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
V10 --- He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him:
All of these scriptures are very simply telling us to love our brothers or to love one another: They tell us to be like Jesus and Father God:
Jesus and Father God loves the entire world, (talking about the race of people) and does not matter what color or race they are:
All man-kind was created by God the Father; God created Adam from the dust of the ground; then he took a rib from Adam and created Eve: (Genesis 2:21 – 22) So, we see that all colors of man were in Adam, because they were the first created people who gave birth to children as you read and study the bible, there were all color and race:
Where did this start? It started when God took some dirt from the ground and created Adam: you see, in that dirt were all colors of the earth, Red dirt, black dirt, white dirt, yellow dirt and so forth: Can you see that? So, love one another so we can live in that light:
Now, let’s get back to our teaching: We are to walk in the light (God the father) as he (Jesus) walked in the light: How did Jesus walk? He walked in love: he walked in kindness; He walked in generosity: He hated no one; Jesus never talked bad about anyone: Jesus emanated his father God in all he did:
God’s desire for us is to do and act the same and that is what he is saying here, walk in the light as Jesus walks in the light!
How do you do that? You do it by Love, walk in love no matter how someone else acts toward you! Be quick to forgive them and ask for forgiveness for having unforgiveness in your heart:
When you do this, you are walking in God the Father which is light, so therefore, you walk in the light!
BE BLESSED AND KNOW GOD LOVES YOU: JESUS LOVES YOU AND SO DO I:
UNTIL NEXT TIME: REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS LORD!
