Day 269 - Isaiah 7-9 & Galatians 4
“The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone.” (Isaiah 9:2 ESV)
Isaiah’s prophetic words point sinful humanity struggling in
our spiritual darkness to Jesus - the Light of the world. Jesus lived a sinless life, died an innocent death, and rose in triumph from the grave for sinners like you and me, allowing us to see the light, His light.
It is a tragic fact that there are so many today who continue to walk in spiritual darkness. So many have no idea why Jesus came to this earth. They have no idea of what Jesus has to offer them...
- peace
- forgiveness of their sins
- reconciliation with God the Father
- guarantee of eternity in heaven
- true love (God’s love) that changes EVERYTHING!
Perhaps you know someone like that. They may even be close to you, a relative, a coworker, a neighbor. If so...
- pray for them
(Lord, lay some soul upon my heart, and love that soul through me.
And may I humbly do my part to win that soul for Thee. Amen.)
- model Christ’s love to / for them
- share God’s plan of salvation with them (Jesus died and rose for them)
- invite them to your house
- invite them to God’s house
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be the Light that this sin-darkened worlds needs so desperately. May He continue to shine on me and through me for the rest of my life. Amen.
