The Light
Do you know who Jesus is? Read Luke 2. Simeon and Anna did. How did they know? THEY WERE SEEKING HIM CONSTANTLY. Simeon knew he wouldn’t die until he saw the redemption of his people and the Salvation of the Gentiles. Simeon was a faithful and obedient servant and when he saw the LIGHT he already knew Him. Seeing Jesus born he knew that everything the Son of God would accomplish was a done deal. The Romans were still the power. Pharisees were still manipulating the people’s minds with fear and the Sadducee s were still not believing in God. Scribes were still misusing knowledge to enslave the ignorant to their will. But Simeon saw the King of kings and Lord of lords wrapped up in a blanket and it was all done. The Kingdom of God had arrived because Jesus is the Kingdom of God. Two beautiful witnesses came to their time to testify to the LIGHT. Now it’s our turn! Diseases still gonna kill and harm and politicians still going to try to lie us into slavery. People with more are going to try to take from those with less and oppress the powerless with faux power. Satan is still going to be the epitome of EVIL, Haters gonna Hate, and thieves are going to steal. Are you going to shine? It’s getting pretty dark out there and you know it’s time to shine! The youngest believer knows how to beat Satan because they know Jesus. Anna spent her whole life after the death of her husband at the Temple waiting for Jesus to come. Her and Simeon were both filling their lives with obedience to God and doing good things. They didn’t miss their moment and their names were recorded for us to see them shine too. 'Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ' Hebrews 11:1 https://my.bible.com/bible/59/HEB.11.1 What Are You Seeing? While you guys have been seeing a Global Pandemic made by the destroyer’s very hands and His minions manipulating it. And you have seen so much corruption from every direction that you pretty much have to count everything a lie. I have been seeing Simeon and Anna’s Savior about to come back soon to get His faithful. In my Lifetime? I don’t know, my flesh is getting weak and weary: but the Light of Jesus has never been so bright. Read God’s WORD and figure out for yourself that “It is Finished!” Our King said that over 2000 years ago when He died for my sins and arose to defeat my darkness. YES! I SEE THE DARKNESS! God’s Word told me about this just like Jesus’ disciples heard from His lips he was about to be crucified. God has told us how things will be, and what He will do. We all get to pick our focus; what we occupy our minds with will determine what we do. Waiting for Jesus isn’t sitting at church looking at the clock praying He would hurry up and come back already. The knowledge of the Darkness and the opposing Light of Salvation in Jesus is a call to action. The Missing Ingredient Love
