I’m not a person to put tithes to sermonettes as such but I guess it’s ok. My thoughts for the past few days have somewhat been focused on the Light.

Jesus said, I am the light in Johns Gospel. John referred to Him, that is Jesus, verse 9 of chapter 1 that He was the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world, because He was the creator of the light. When God spoke, quoting from Genesis chapter 1 verse 3, God said, let there be light and there was light. Jesus was that word that was spoken. John tells us in the beginning was the word, the word was God and the same was in the beginning with God. The Bible says and the word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.

St. Lukes Gospel, chapter 23 verse 44 tells us that just before Jesus gave up the Ghost, there was darkness for the space of three hours. Make no wonder, because the giver of light, the giver of life, was drawing His last breath. He that is Jesus was to die. I’m not sure, there is no scripture to say, but I’m convinced that the three days represented the three days that the true light that lighteth every man would be out for awhile. Make no wonder the earth quaked and shook, the sun refused to shine, look what was happening.

I can’t imagine what was transacting in the temple. I wish I could have seen the look on the high priests’ face when he heard the rent and looked and saw the Vail of the temple torn from the top to the bottom. Oh praise God he opened up the way into the presence of God that we might obtain mercy and find grace in the time of need. I can’t imagine, I won’t even try to. It was at the time of the evening sacrifice that the priest went in to offer up the sacrifice for the people. Little did he know or realized that the Lamb of God was being sacrificed on an old rugged cross outside of the temple. No more ritual, no more bondage, all bondage to be broken, men and women set free by the sacrifice on the cross.

Isaiah referred to it in chapter 60 verse 2. The darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. Yet there well be another time of darkness, Isaiah 13:10, For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. This will happen because man refused to accept the true light, the light of the glorious gopsel of Jesus Christ, the whole earth shall mourn. (Matthew 24:30)

Read Revelation chapter 6 verse 12-14 which gives an account of the events that would follow the opening of the 6th seal, as the judgements of God are being poured out because they would not accept the true light.

When the light went out that day when Jesus died on the cross meant that a greater light would shine forth. Isaiah said, a light to lighten the gentiles and they that sat in darkness meaning the gentile nations saw a great light. The Bible says that man refuse to come to that light lest their deeds be known. Man loves darkness rather then light because their deeds are evil. Although, the light went out that day for the space of three hours, yet that Light has been shining every since.

You may take things lightly, someone may read this but listen. Give ear, those that do not accept Christ as the true light will be cast in an outer darkness where the light will never penetrate.
