The True Light

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9

Reading:

John 1:1-14

He came!

“And the light shineth in darkness” (John 1:5).

“He was in the world” (John 1:10).

“He came” (John 1:11).

“But as many as received him” (John 1:12).

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

He came…to turn my darkness to light.

He came…enlighten me.

He came…that I might know Him.

He came…so I could receive Him.

He came…to give me the option of becoming a child of God.

He came…to show me His glory.

He came…to live among people such as I am.

He came…full of grace and truth…for me.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming!

Is it this important to me?
Reading:

John 13:31-38

What is it?

What do I do with it?

And how much do I want it?

This much…?

“Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him” (John 13:31).

Jesus was going to be betrayed and denied and abandoned.

He was going to suffer and die.

But He saw glory.

His glory and God’s glory.

“I’m half awake now, yet, somehow, that really strikes me,” I wrote at 9:41 this morning (after going to bed after 11:30 last night and getting up at 3:35 this morning to take nephew Robert Nelson to the airport).
