Light or dark?

John 8:12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,’I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”‘ When The Lighthouse ministry began we wondered what would be a theme verse representing the thought behind that ministry which helps those who suffer from addiction.  John 8:12 was chosen.  Without Jesus as our Light we have no light or life.  With Him as our Guide we will never be without Light or Life.  This verse has proven to be a very accurate theme and guide for both the ministry and the men and women who are receiving our Savior’s comfort.

Water flows

John 7: 37b-38 …Jesus stood and said in a loud voice,’ Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”‘ A faith filled Christian cannot help but both live and tell others of the wonders of their Savior.  Jesus told people of Himself, of His Father and of the Holy Spirit.  It is now your and my responsibility to tell others the truths of living water.  What a privilege!

Jesus was hated?

John 7:7 “The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.” Jesus, the perfect Son of God, the Savior of mankind, was hated.  That statement seems impossible.  Why?  The world loves greed, sexual pollution, abortion, worshipping false gods and the list goes on.  Jesus spoke and lived condemning such behavior.  The world didn’t and doesn’t want to hear the truth of how corruption ruins lives and therefore He was hated.  None of us should fall into the traps of the world.

Where do you go?

John 6:68 “Simon Peter answered him,’Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.”‘ Peter asked the same question you and I would ask–the most important question man can ask.  The answer is so obvious to every faith filled Christian—there is nowhere else, other than Jesus.  The world is lost in it’s answer.  The question—where does one go for truth?—I don’t really know– wherever you want because there is no known absolute truth. The answer; however, is an easy one in the Christian world–we camly and confidently adhere to the absolute truths of our Savior. Have a great weekend.
