John 1 Creator to Creation
Next week we will turn our clocks back one hour and the change will be noted. The days are getting shorter and the light is diminished for a time. Even in this we marvel at the change of seasons and the shortened days. Listen, blessed reader: In the beginning the world was without form and was void of any giving life or light. He, the Creator spoke, let there be light! And the light was given. Light is one thing we need to be sustained moment by moment. What a gift of the Creator to us the created. How do we respond?
The Creator left heaven and came to a spiritually darkened world that He had created, but as He walked and talked among them, they didn’t even notice! How about us? Do we notice the Light, the true Light from heaven? But, so they would be without excuse, the Creator sent His messenger to this darkened world, John the Baptist. He was sent to introduce and speak a Life Giving Message so all might believe in HIM. “But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children.”
Where are you today? Are you still wandering in the dark or are you walking in the Light, the Holy One of Israel?
