    Receiving And Rejecting The Light

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,322 views

    John tells us in the prologue of his Gospel that the Light of Jesus Christ shines in the darkness that represents the sins of humanity. Some turn to the Light and others reject it, missing out on the blessings of salvation and eternal life.

    In the prologue to his Gospel, John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as "the Light" that shines in darkness, and that it was John the Baptist who bore witness of His Light. The Light of Christ is offered to everyone, yet not all wanted the Light of Christ to shine upon them, and they ...read more

     | 957 views

    The time for judgment upon the earth and its inhabitants has arrived. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, takes the scroll from the hand of God and breaks the seals of God's wrath, each one progressively worse than the other.

    The dramatic moment has arrived as the seals that bind the book of God are about to be opened, one by one. What is written upon the scroll leaps off the page and acts out the events of the future for the apostle John and the heavenly host. They are not reading the scroll but instead are ...read more
