This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 1 John 1:5 (NLT)
The message entrusted to the disciples by Jesus was not one of judgement, it was not about the anger or expectations of God… NO! The message they were to carry in their hearts and speak with their lives and words was one of hope – God is light.
Light is His essence, His voice, His nature – bright, radiant, warm, rejuvenating, darkness dispelling light.
In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light…” Before He created anything else, He established light in the world – a true reflection and extension of Himself.
Scientists refer to light as both obvious and mysterious, and whenever they think they’ve got light figured out, light beautifully surprises them. Through the ages, many differing well-respected scientist have had many different, and often opposing, theories about light (selah) – from Pythagoras to Maxwell, to Newton, to Einstein and many in-between.
Here’s a couple of things we know for sure. Light is the fastest ’thing’ in the planet and travels at a speed of 186000 miles per second, which means that every second it travels almost 8 times around the world. (God is light… and He is all around us).
In order for plants to not just grow, but maintain optimum nutrition and mineral content, they need the light from the sun to shine upon them. (It’s in Christ that we live and move and have our being).
Light is not singular in colour but is made up of all existing colours. All colours, not missing one, when joined and stirred together, when they hold each other and mingle, they make the colour of light. (For God so loved [ALL] the world… that he gave His only Son…)
Jesus – the light and hope of the world. By whom we see, we know, we grow, we commune and are strengthened. He implants His light into our hearts so that we don’t have to walk through hoops to get under it, but we carry it with us wherever we go.
Does the message you tell others about Christ reflect His light?
As with scientists on the subject of light, we pray that you encounter the obvious and mysterious ways of Christ and that you will always and ever be beautifully surprised by His grace and love.
