*"Wake Up!"*
There were wars and rumors of wars. Out of the hearts of the people came evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. False prophets appeared and deceived many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many had grown cold. And the people cursed the darkness. So was the condition of the world 2,000 years ago. In the midst of this darkness, a true light that gives light to every man came into the world. "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12) God was in the world; and, though the world was made by Him, many in the world did not recognize Him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are wars and rumors of wars. Out of the hearts of the people come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. False prophets appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many has grown cold. And the people curse the darkness. So is the condition of the world today. Jesus brought light into the world 2,000 years ago. This same Jesus is coming back; however, He did not leave us in the dark. He promised that His light will be with us always (Mathew 28:20). The Holy Spirit has been sent to us to remind us of His light so we do not have to be afraid (John 14:25-27). Don't put His light under a bowl; instead; rejoice, and put it on a stand where everything exposed by it will become visible. Let’s celebrate the coming of The Light into the world; let's make a new commitment, a new covenant with our Lord to spread His light to all around us every day. "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."(Ephesians 5:14) Shalom, Ron U *"Be made new in the attitude of your minds and have the same attitude, purpose and humble mind that was in Christ Jesus."
