About 4 years ago, a family member had a situation that I quickly brushed aside as one of the usual attention seeking behaviours. 

Having been newly married, we used to talk quite a bit; and I used to believe all the stories about difficulties with in-laws, animosity from co-tenants in the new home, and eavesdropping devices planted around her dwellings.

It took a psychiatrist friend to convince me that all the stories were delusions and hallucinations. 

Putting everything that happened around the time together recently, it became clear that there was a crisis situation that led to a mental and emotional breakdown.

It took a topic in Crisis Theory and Practice for me to get the complete picture, and understand what was really happening. Illumination is always helpful.

In the intro in John’s Gospel, we were told,

The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

(John 1: 9-12 NLT)

Jesus brings the ultimate illumination into the world; the illumination of God and His perfect purpose for mankind. But the world could not recognize Him. 

But to all who recognized Him, believed in Him and accepted Him, He gave the power to become children of God. 

In addition, through the Holy Spirit, He also illuminates the minds of God’s children  about God’s plans for mankind (John 14:16, John 16:13).

The world seems to be in a turmoil, and people are looking for answers.

The ultimate answer is in Christ. Paul wrote to the Philippians,

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

He understood God’s purpose through Christ, and that gave him confidence, and a lot of peace.

MEMORY VERSE

“When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”
(John 16:13) 

QUESTIONS

•      What answers do you need?
•      Have you tried Jesus the Christ yet?

PRAYER TIP

Father, please give me 
the wisdom to come to You 
always. You are the answer 
to all of life's questions.

URGENT CALL

Every soul is valuable to God, far more than the entire world! But by nature, we are all sinful, and alienated from God, and we ultimately face his wrath!

God in His mercy and love made a way for us to remedy this. He gives us a chance to reverse this downward spiral to destruction, join His family, be part of His household, and become His children.

The first step to becoming a member of God’s household is for us to be saved.

Salvation comes through accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Personal Savior.

It is a very personal decision. No one can make that decision for you.

If you make that decision today, there will be great singing and rejoicing in heaven; because one new member has joined the family and household of God! A soul, much, much more valuable than the world, has been saved from destruction!

Do you want to make that decision today?

Please visit “The Believer’s Prayer”

God richly bless you
