Jesus Christ Is The True Light Of The World

The Gospel of John proclaims with authority that Jesus Christ is the sovereign Word of God, the eternal Word of God, the creative Word of God, and the incarnate Word of God. John also announces that Christ is the Son of God
 John was a prophet with a magnetic personality who challenged the nation of Israel to repent of their sins: He drew many crowds and caused many backslidden Jews to repent of their sins and to return to the God of the fathers because the Lord and Light of the World, was about to be revealed.
 Many mistakenly began to think that John himself was the Light, but John the Baptist was not the Light. John was the man whom God had chosen to testify about the Light. John was the one chosen to bear witness of the Light. John was the one that testified that Jesus Christ Is The True Light Of The World.
 Today we who have trusted Christ as Savior are called, as was John, to bear witness to the LIGHT: Jesus Christ, the true Light that lights everyone who comes into the world.  As we allow Christ to live His life in us, we are enabled to reflect the light of His love and to share the glorious gospel of grace with others in a lost world of deep darkness.
He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the witness of Your Word, and thank You for sending Jesus into the world to be the Light of the world and Savior of mankind. Help us to walk in the light as He is in the light and to let the light of His love shine through us to others so that our lives will be a true testimony to Jesus.  Just as John the Baptist prayed, as he bore witness to Jesus, we pray that we may decrease and Jesus may increase in us, until He is all in all in our lives. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
