Sons of Light

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day.
We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,
but let us be alert and self- controlled. For those
who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk,
get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day,
let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love
as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-9


All The Real Light

All that we spiritually know of ourselves,
all that we know of God, and of Jesus, and
his Word, we owe to the teaching of the
Holy Spirit; all the real light, sanctification,
strength and comfort we are made to possess on
our way to glory, we must ascribe to him.

Leamington,   May, 1840

The Light of the World

” They came with torches to capture the light of the world

and they came with swords to arrest the Prince of Peace.”

William Hendriksen (1900-1982)

 

 

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.”
The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.” Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.

John 8:12-15
