The Gospel of John 1:4-5 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:4-5 KJV)

Considering this deeply, when God said in the beginning 'let there be light and there was light' (Genesis 1:1), life is more than simply lungs breathing or heart pumping or brain thinking. It is beyond our human intellect to try to explain all the processes that must take place for us to live. It is very overwhelming to consider all that is needed for us to truthfully say we are alive. But, the Lord Jesus knows. And, even better, he is the life. He started life. He created life. He fashioned life. Yes, He is life Himself. Take Jesus, The Word, away and there is no life.

Without Him, humans are mere spooks roaming the face of the planet, like what they portray in movies. In a sense, those are the realities for those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ, when they cast Him out of their daily walk in life. Without Him people walk and grope in the dark. For them, living becomes a trial and error concept. In their line of thinking this is all what it is. There is no beyond. When this is over, that's it. They couldn't comprehend God's eternal design. That's how short- sighted humanity apart from the Word. They bring themselves down to the level of animals and simple organisms that science relegated to being a product of evolution by accident. Sadly, as apostle Paul exhorts: “They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.” (Ephesians 4:18 NIV)

So, in Christ Jesus by faith through His grace, we must get hold of this unchanging truth. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
