Scripture: John 1: 6-9
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Scripture Commentary:
The Book of Malachi, written about 430 B.C., foretold the coming of John The Baptist and the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Present day Christians are to tell others that Jesus came and gave His life for the remission of our sins. Like John The Baptist, we are not the source of God’s light. We merely reflect that light.
Jesus is the light.
He helps us see our way to God. We, the believers and followers of Jesus Christ, are to help unbelievers onto the path that leads to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Jesus removes the road of darkness from our path and we see His marvelous light. There is no more stumbling in the dark.
When we accept Jesus, we become new people.
We are reborn spiritually, receiving new life from God.
This is only part of the message we are to share with the world. John baptized with water but Jesus forgives sin and that’s only something the Son of God can do.
