Message of Christmas Light

-
 

 

The Advent and Christmas seasons are characterized by many lights: the shopping streets light up. The living room lights up. Even when the Christmas tree is out of fashion, branches are lit with festive warm candlelight. Christmas has to do with light, but unfortunately it is missing in many hearts.

And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, . 2 Peter 1:19 (ESV)


1. The prophetic word a light

The fulfilled prophecy is the proof of the correctness of the Word of God. Long before the event, prophets prophesied what man's ingenuity could never have foreseen or foretold.

Isaiah sees Israel in oppressive darkness, but he says that the time of darkness and hopelessness will come to an end, and announces a great light that will shine brightly upon those who are without hope.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:5-6 (ESV)


2. Fulfilled prophecy in the light of God

When God's Son was born, an angel of God appeared to the shepherds in the field. Light shone around her. The message was clear:

Great joy for all people, because today the long-awaited savior was born. It is Christ the Lord.

In the midst of the oppressive darkness, the light of hope shines. The long-awaited savior has appeared in power. Now the shepherds were surrounded by countless angels praising God. They brought greetings of peace; Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.

Saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 
Matthew 2:2 + 9-11 (ESV)

They followed the rising morning star and found the true light of God - in Jesus Christ - who now became their Savior.



3. Jesus the great light of the world

Jesus began his activity on earth out of love for all people.
  • He healed those born blind and gave them sight
  • He freed prisoners
  • He searched for the lost and brought them to safety
  • He gave water of life to those who were thirsty
  • He helped widows and orphans get their rights.
But the purpose of his mission was for the rising morning star to bring light into our hearts.



The bystanders asked a dying man of God whether he still knew them. The answer came promptly: “It is dark before my eyes, but here” - he put his hand on his heart - “here there is light in abundance!” Then he added: “Help me, Jesus Christ!” and passed away.

Especially at Christmas time, when people are surrounded by an excessive glow of light, many people feel the longing to get to know the true and genuine.

I wish all readers that you accept Jesus Christ into your life and experience the divine light in abundance! Blessed Christmas!

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 ...
