My brother's gonna have a sober question. One of the things that I've heard this weekend about.
Our righteousness and about the place. God has brought us into the darkness, the sunshine and the light.
And I notice on the back wall there, first John 15 got his light. That's one of the things that I was thinking about.
And in Genesis.
In chapter 1 That was mentioned many times.
That is.
In the beginning, God.
Created to heaven and earth.
Verse 3 says and God said, let there be light and there was light and God saw the light.
And that was good. That is our source.
Everything starts with God. Everything.
And Psalm 27/1.
The Lord is my light, my salvation. Whom shall I fear?
There's our protection. Who shall I fear? And then for John 1.
Gospel of John, chapter 1.
Verse 5.
And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light.
That all men through him might believe he was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light.
That was a true light which lighted every man that cometh into the world.
And.
John 8, verse 12.
Then faith Jesus again to them, saying I am the light of the world.
He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
That is the Lord Jesus bringing us in.
He's bringing us in to that light that he has for us.
He brought us into that life.
And James 1/7.
Not as fast as you, Nick.
Well, it helps to have a podium.
James 17, it says 4.
Right, Yeah, every good gift 1/17/17 forgot the one. Every good gift, every perfect gift is from above.
And cometh down from the father of lights.
With whom is no variableness, neither a shadow of turning.
In second Peter, 119.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy. Whereunto, where do you do well, that you take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arrives in your heart?
Matthew 5.
00:05:17
Verse 13.
It says Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the soul had lost its savour, wherewith shall it be sold. It is that's worth good for nothing but to be cast out, be trodden down under the foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid, neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel.
Put on a Candlestick it giveth.
Light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light shine. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. That's the return back to the source, a return back, and that is being sent out by that light, that light.
Shines through us.
It comes from God.
And we are a vessel, we are a lamb that God has lived for us to shine, as it says.
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which in heaven back to our Father.
And in Psalm 119105, thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
1/19, 1:30.
The entrance of thy words giveth light.
It giveth understanding to the simple.
And the thought that I had.
Well, I'll be like, I'll be honest with you. I had several thoughts since John called me and asked me to give this little talk and he said 5 minutes. I said that's good.
But the thought that I had that came to me and I heard it many times this weekend about the light, the lungs rod. God is love and God is light.
And how much that that light should shine through us.
And I thought about this weekend.
This group together this weekend. How much we enjoy the things of our Savior, how much we enjoy the things of our Father, the place He's brought us into.
And I think about that when we leave here, when we go, when we depart and go our own separate ways all across this nation.
Have our light shine and it doesn't have to be standing on a mountaintop screaming at the top of our lungs. It can be just living a good Christian life, having someone come up and say.
What's with you? Why are you so happy? What do you have that I don't and that's curiosity will spark a light enough and help them come to find the savior.
That's one of the things that I was thinking about and that's the end of it. It was short and I hope that you enjoyed it because it was just, that's what I was thinking about, how much we enjoy the Lord here, that we should take it with us because God's asked us to go out and let our light shine among Him.
His father has, in fact.
