The Sunday School Lesson A Ministry of the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association by ttev. Mike limaiogi, ym?f, Mr. Airy Haptki The Light af the Weetd John 1:4-10. 12:44-50 ? We are continuing our study a{ titles of Jesus. This lesson examines the title ."light" and points to its significance as a redemption title for Jesus. When you begin to look at Jn. 1, you are tempted to recall the Gen 1 story of ? creation. That may have been a deliberate action on John's part as he portrays the creator as the re-creator, the redeem er. v.4-As in creation, physical life was a creative work. In the redemption story, spiritu al life is the re-creative work ot God the Word. "Life" here means life-giving poorer* "Light" vfas the first pro nounce meet in creation. Gen. 1:3. It is also primarily significant in redemption. Spiritually, light is explained by such words as truth and freedom, while it also has life-giving power. Light is indispensable to life and life to light. In the Son, there is life which is light-naturally and spritually. v.S--"Darkness" implies falsehood and bondage, while ultimately meaning death. All that is in the light is absent in darkness. Light is superior to darkness. Light dissolves darkness because darkness has no effective resistance to light. Darkness brings misery to everything except light. vs.b-S--The mhiMu It to JohntheBaptist Hisonginis both natural and supernatur al. see Lk. 1:5-15 and Msl.3:l. His name means ^ grace of Jehovah." His divine ap pointment was to "bear wit ness" and point out the light to men, see Jn.l:lS-34. He was not (he light but he could point it out. That is a wonderful assignment in it self. Why do we need to point out light? Where men are blind, .they never know when the light is turned on unless someone tells them. vs.9-10--"True Light" in the first instance means not only genuine light but divine light also. This is in contrast to human or earthly light. Jesus is genuinely divine light which no one else can be. He contains the truth, is the truth, and reveals the truth for us, in us and about us. He tills us with light. By first shining on us, we can learn the truth that the darkness has kept hidden from us. Namely, the world is in darkness because it does not recognize Jesus as God's divine work in its midst. Secondly, we all become sinners because ? e reject Jesus as Cod's way back to the Father. Thirdly, the truth b that Jesus redeem i us from darkness and does {pot con demn us in darkness. That comes to pass when He shines on us. To receive Jesus b to be enlightened. Only then will you know the truth, have the truth and be able to share the truth. The world belong ed to Jesus by right of creation-He made it, Jn.l:3. The world was in darkness now because it had refused Him. There may have been a thousand reasons for refusing Htm, but the world was in darkness beacause it had refused Jesus. All that He had created, the Son can now recreate and redeem because He b the true light shining on all He has made. There is no excuse for anyone to remain in darkness. The true light overcomes it. Jn. 12:44-46 To see Jesus and believe Him are import ant because Jesus is God's work, 2 Cor.5:19. He stress es that the father b one with Him. - - ' ? mmmmi? i va.47-40~We test choose to recirve or reluct ik claim of Jesus. Jwui is not s condemoer.'but the strength of His daim (His wads) is enough to condemn if we refuse it. It is this claim (words) that we must reject or ?ecieve. vs.49-50?That word or claim is doubly potent fa it is endorsed by the Father. There is a union at person and power of the Father and the Son which can bring life everlasting a condemnation. Our faith makes the differen ce. Jesus is light and life. As the creator and the redeemer. He brings to us the necessary ingredient for recieving the greatest gift. There is no life apart from light. Again, a redemptive, title fa Jesus is "Light of the World." The first printed book known is a copy of tha Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist scripture from tha 16th century. Ever Green Church News I by Mr?. LmcA* Bmfcs January 10th was a great day for the ones who attended church. \ v . Rev. Edmond Locfclear did a good job discussing Acts 17. He was chosen far' assistant teacher for the adult class. Subject for the lesson was "Declaring the True God." The class enjoyed how Bro. Locfclear discussed this chap ter. Mrs. Mary Locfclear'i class had the program and I might add, she did a swell job. The program was based on Heav en. Words can't explain the beauty of Heaven. We've read about it, but the eye has never seen nor have ears heard the glory awaiting us in that beautiful city. The only way we'll really know just how it is there, is to go there. Praise God these 23 years I've been working on that trip, it has been a pleasure. There's no strain to live right. It only takes desire sad aetermina boo. Someday I'll see for myself all these beauties Heaven holds for me. Are yon on your way to that cityT If not, get ready today, tomor row may be just too late. Rev. Edmon Locklear Jr. preached today from Romans 13:11-14. He brought in many good points concerns confes sion based on Christ the true light. Hope. Faith and Love. The only way to.havc Christ is to love our fellow man. Pray for all our sick loved ones. Judy Walking is home from the hospital but, still isn't doing too good. She thanks your for your -prayers and visits. Also thanks Evergreen for a beautiful flower. Please pray for the family of Mrs. Mary Ruth Locklear. They are in trouble because of her death. Please remember her son, he's still in the hospital. The Lord is calling. One by one. So its important to be ready. The hour we think not he's coming. Thought For Today Let's ask our Father, Lord, what will you have me do? When you become a soldier of the cross, there is no question of cost or consequen ses, but only the determina tion to submerge your will in the will of Christ...To honor Him with your life, your talent, your possessions...He asks for... 1/7 of your time... 1/10 of your money...All of your heart...Tithing is a shield...It protects you from selfishness...Tithing guards your spirit of love...Tithing encourages you to step out for God...Tithing will help you gain faith...It will bring peace to your mind...Contintment inside you...Courage to reach out. Please pray for us at Evergreen. OBITUARY ANTHONY GUY HREWINGTON Funeral services for An thony Guy Brewington were held at Harpers Ferry Baptist Church on January 8, 1962 at 3:30 p.m. with the Rev.
