Jesus brings light

DE Deutsch EN English
 
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Luke 2:8 (ESV)


1. He came at night

Can we imagine that God saw Caesar Augustus as an instrument of God? Who would have thought! But God's plan had to come true! When Jesus Christ came into this world over 2000 years ago, it was night! And not just in Bethlehem. It was night for Mary and Joseph. They were looking for peace and a place to stay. But they had to flee!


At the same time it was night for the Jews. Because the Romans sent tax collectors. These demanded a lot. The emperor sent soldiers who appeared haughty and proud. They trampled the Jews into the dirt. But it wasn't just the Romans who spread "night". There were so many sick people, paralyzed people and many blind people. What misery! They looked for help - and didn't find it!


2. Political and religious night

It was also “night” for the Romans: outwardly they were large and powerful; they controlled the world at that time. But inside there were signs of decay. They were corrupt, licentious, and lost in the darkness of the night. It was "night" in the religious world, in Israel.
 

Even God was silent for over 400 years! Instead, the Pharisees brought new burdens through regulations. And the Jews couldn't do it!

The Romans didn't want to anger a god. But they didn't find peace either! It was similar with the Greeks. Gods were found everywhere, but none of them brought salvation and inner liberation. It was "night" in the world: of suffering, worries, disappointments and loneliness!

In our days it is no different. I think of the "night" of discord in many marriages, in families... Of the "nights" of fear, but also of guilt.

3. Jesus brought light into the night

In the middle of that night, Jesus, the Son of God, came! At that time he not only brought light to shepherds and magicians.
 

People heard the voice of God in a completely new way. Jesus brought light into the darkness. He was the light. He showed the path of love and redemption of spirit, soul and body. Jesus overlooked no one!

He did not come for just one particular group, denomination or nation. Jesus came for everyone! Wherever he went he brought hope, healing and change to lives. Can Jesus still come to you today? Christmas is when Jesus can come into your life. Come to Him today, He is already waiting for you.

…so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God So Loved the World . For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:14b-16 (ESV)

Deutsch English Psalm 24 ein Lied Davids. König David war ein geliebter des Herrn. Siebzig Jahre König in Israel. Er war Musiker, Dichter und Prophet. Ein Lied von David. Dem HERRN gehört die ganze Welt und alles, was auf ihr lebt. Die Erde befestigte er über dem Wasser, ihre Fundamente legte er auf den Meeresgrund. Psalm 24, 1-2 (HFA) Weil Gott die ganze Erde schuf, darum kommt er mit Macht, um sein Eigentum in Besitz zu nehmen. Der Psalm Schreiber fragt: Wer darf auf den Berg des HERRN gehen? Der Weg zum Schöpfer führt hinauf! Psalm 24,3 (HFA) Die Antwort: „Jeder, der kein Unrecht tut und ein reines Herz hat. Jeder, der keine fremden Götter anbetet und keinen falschen Eid schwört. Einen solchen Menschen wird Gott mit seinem Segen beschenken und ihn für schuldlos erklären; der HERR ist sein Helfer! Das gilt den Menschen, die sich nach dir richten und im Gebet deine Nähe suchen, du Gott Jakobs.“ Psalm 24,4-6 (HFA) Es sind Personen, die das Heil brauchen; Sie empfangen Gerechtigk...

Danach werden wir, die wir leben und übrigbleiben, zugleich mit ihnen entrückt werden auf den Wolken, dem Herrn entgegen in die Luft. Und so werden wir beim Herrn sein allezeit. 1. Thessalonicher 4,16-17 (LUT) 'König Jesus kommt zurück auf die Erde! Das ist eine gute Nachricht für Menschen, die zu Seinem Königreich gehören, denn Er nimmt sie mit in Sein himmlisches Reich, in dem es keinen Schmerz und kein Leid und keine Krankheit mehr gibt. Für Menschen, die nicht zu Seinem Königreich gehören ist das eine sehr schlechte Nachricht, denn Er wird all der Ungerechtigkeit und den Dingen, die sich Menschen gegenseitig antun, nicht länger zusehen, sondern Seine Aufgabe als Richter aller Menschen wahrnehmen.  Woher  weiß ma...

More Info:  https://www.wiederkunft-jesu.info/ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1. Thessalonicher 4,16-17 (ESV) King Jesus is coming back to earth! This is good news for people who belong to His kingdom, for He is taking them to His heavenly kingdom where there is no more pain, suffering, or sickness. This is very bad news for people who do not belong to His Kingdom, because He will no longer look on at all the injustice and things people do to one another, but will carry out His task as judge of all people. So how do you know if you belong to His kingdom? The problem is that humanity has been drawn into a rebellion against their king. Every human since then has been born into the ...
