It’s NOT About Us



“Jesus said, I Am The Light of the World.  He who Follows Me, shall NOT walk in darkness, but have The Light of Life.  I now send YOU, to open their eyes, in order to turn them, from darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan, to God (Almighty), that they may receive Forgiveness of sins, and an Inheritance, among those Who are Sanctified by Faith in Me.”

“Therefore, since We have this Ministry, as We have received Mercy, We do NOT lose heart.  But We have renounced, the hidden things of shame, NOT walking in craftiness nor handling The Word of God, deceitfully, but by Manifestation of The Truth, commending Ourselves, to every man’s conscience, in The Sight of God.  But even if Our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds The God of this Age, has blinded, who do NOT believe, lest The Light of The Gospel of The Glory of Christ, Who is The Image of God, should Shine on them.  For We do NOT Preach Ourselves, but Christ Jesus, The Lord, and Ourselves, Your Bondservants, for Jesus’ Sake.  For it is, The God, Who Commanded Light to Shine, out of darkness, Who has Shone in Our hearts, to give The Light of The Knowledge of The Glory of God, in The Face of Jesus Christ.

“He who does The Truth, comes to The Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

“If YOU instruct the Brethren in these things, YOU will be a Good Minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in The Words of Faith and of The Good Doctrine, which YOU have carefully followed.  Exercise yourself toward Godliness.  Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the Life that now is, and of that which is to come.  This is a Faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.  For to this end, We both labor and suffer reproach (criticism), because We Trust in The Living God, Who is The Savior of All Men, especially of those, Who Believe.  These things command and Teach.

“A servant of The Lord, must NOT quarrel, but be gentle to All, able to Teach, patient, in humility, correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps, will grant them Repentance, so that they may know The Truth, and that they may come to their senses, and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him, to do his will.

Fellow Believers, We are to shine Jesus Christ’s Light, so brightly, that people see Jesus Christ, and NOT Us!  We ARE Jesus Christ’s Light, upon a World full of darkness!  We ARE Jesus Christ’s Vessel, to share and Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ!  Fellow Believers remember, Jesus Christ abides within each of Us, which is how We can be Jesus’ Light upon the World!  We simply MUST allow Jesus Christ, to speak to the World, through Us!  When We truly do this, the words We speak, are NOT Our words, but Words given to Us, through The Holy Spirit.

Remember, it’s about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  It’s about relationships, a person’s relationship with God Almighty, a person’s relationship with Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, but also a person’s relationships with Fellow Believers, as well.  It’s about Our Father’s, God Almighty’s, Unconditional Love, for each of Us.  It’s about Our Savior’s, Jesus Christ’s, Unconditional Love, for each of Us.  It’s about God Almighty’s Ultimate Plan, God Almighty walking with Man and Man walking with God Almighty, Forever, for Eternity.  It’s about The Word, descending from Heaven, taking human form (in the form of a Man), and at His Birth, being given the name, Jesus.  It’s about a Man (Jesus Christ), dying upon The Cross (His Crucifixion), paying a sin debt, the price for All Man’s sin.  It’s about this same Man (Jesus Christ), being Raised from the grave (His Resurrection), on the third day, Alive, by God Almighty, Himself.  It’s about this same Man (Jesus Christ), forty days after His Resurrection, ascending on Clouds from Heaven, into Heaven (His Ascension), Alive, to sit down at The Right Hand of God Almighty, Himself.

Fellow Believers, We have no idea, when the opportunity, for someone to accept Jesus Christ, as his/her personal Lord and Savior, will no longer be available.  Be it by his/her mortal death, or The Return of Jesus Christ, Himself.  So, We must take advantage of each opportunity, to share, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to All.  Yes, I know, not everyone, We encounter, will be open to hear (i.e. have Ears to hear and Eyes to see) The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I’m also talking about sharing, what We learn (what God Almighty Reveals to Us) with each other.  To shine Jesus Christ’s Light, so brightly, that people see Jesus Christ, and NOT Us, and it’s NOT limited, to Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers, but for Fellow Believers, as well.  We are All, on different Paths, remember God Almighty has Created a specific Path, for each of Us to walk.  Therefore, I cannot walk Your Path, nor can YOU walk My Path, but Our Paths do cross each other’s, obviously.  We Fellowship with each other, to pray with and for each other, to teach each other, to comfort each other, to rejoice with each other, but most importantly to Glorify God Almighty together!

May The Light of The Gospel of The Glory of Christ, Who is The Image of God, Shine on All.  Amen.
