Jesus, Light of the World



Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
(John 8:12)

During the Cultural Revolution, the Communist government of China purged its land of Christianity so effectively that for over a generation any vestige of the gospel message laid long forgotten, buried under deep memories of a few, suppressed by much persecution. It was a dark time indeed for China.

Yet in the late 1970s, from the cold ashes, God rekindled the fire in such a dramatic way that China today has more than 100 million born again believers! No one, no missionary, no human alive could claim ANY glory from this most miraculous revival. It was God and God alone who pulled this off. And like any nation in the past 2000 years, where the Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached, the nation was transformed - for the LIGHT has come!

And so too are the lives of true believers.

When the Light comes, people are transformed. When the Light comes, darkness flees. When the Light comes, people are set free from bondages. When the Light comes, liberty reigns. When the Light comes - love, joy, peace MULTIPLIED!!! O SUCH JOY!

Are u tired? Are u burdened? Are u facing a hopeless tomorrow? Are u living in bondage? Are u living in defeat? Are u living in hate? Are u harbouring deep unforgiveness? Are u living in fear? Are u living in pain? Are u living in DARKNESS?

COME TO THE LIGHT!

No matter who u are, where u are, how u are - God can SAVE U and TURN ur situation around!!! Just COME!

giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
(Col 1:12-14)
