When God Says …
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” (John 1:9 KJV)As revealed in earlier passages, the Word is God's eternal power, the God of all creation. The Word is God Himself, the Creator of all things. The Word is the life and light of all humanity. This light is the One who shines over darkness, which darkness could not overcome. This light, as this text reveal, 'lights every man that comes into the world.' This light is the beginning of all creation before everything else was made whom God declared: "Let there be light and there was light" (Genesis 1:3).
Witnessed by John the Baptist, this is the light the Lord God told to Isaiah that will restore the tribes of Jacob to bring the remnants of Israel that He has kept. And, He will make this light for the Gentiles. That's us all! You and I, as we accept the Lord Jesus Christ by faith in His grace and be born again by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23). The Light, who is Christ Jesus, came to bring salvation 'to the ends of the earth.' It is written, “he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”” (Isaiah 49:6 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
