God said, “Let there be light.”
And there was light.
The world was created by God’s own hand, but because of men, the world fell into darkness. And ever since, men have always walked in darkness. But for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in the Son will not die but have everlasting life.
A man walking in the dark knows not where he is heading. A ship sailing in the dark knows not where she is sailing. You living in the dark know not why you are living. Darkness is something that blinds. Our eye can not see through darkness. And that is why God saw the need for redemption.
Jesus tells his disciples that he was and still is the light of the world (John 8:12)
Jesus came so that men could once again see. He came as a light shining through the darkness (John 1:5) but yet the darkness has not understood him. In John 1:5, the darkness that Jesus meant might have been the world. The world is full of sin, and because of sin, the world is in darkness. As each day pass, the world gets darker and darker and little by little darkness is consuming the world.
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it.
Never will we understand the light,
until we realize that we are nothing but sinners.
Never will one turn to the light,
until he desperately wants the Redeemer.
Will the world understand the light,
will the world hate the darkness.
The world has not yet understood the light,
the world does not know Jesus.
John 12:35-36
You are going to have the light just a little while longer.
Walk while you have the light,
before darkness overtakes you.
The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
Put your trust in the light while you have it,
so that you may become sons of light.
Wake up, you people who belong to the light.
Go and tell people about Christ.
These pictures were taken by me - up in the clouds, thousands of feet above ground, in an airplane.
As I capturing with the camera the beautiful view out of my window I was reminded of how magnificently God created the earth and everything in it – including you.
God bless...
