By His Blood, We Have Moved From The Darkness

Good Morning!! As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, you and I have moved from darkness to light. Jesus has brought us into the light and out of the darkness! That’s how you know that you are saved, because you’ve moved from darkness,...and the consequences of that darkness into the love and into the light of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus is that light! Jesus is that love!...and He came to this earth, perfectly God and perfectly man, in order to redeem us.


...to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’Acts 26:18 (NIV)
 
That is, He has taken away our sin. By His blood we have been forgiven, and we’ve moved from the darkness to the beautiful light of Christ. Though He faced sin’s temptation, He never sinned. He identified with us, and the Word of God was invested in us. Jesus ultimately died for us, substituting for us on the cross. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
 
God became one with us, in order that we might become one with Him.

Lord, You came into the darkness, shinning You Light and Love,...that we might fine our way out. And we we thank You, Jesus. Amen.

"The liberating truth of Christianity is that God meets us where we are, takes us as we are,...and loves us too much to leave us there."
