God With Us – Jesus
December 24, 2023God With Us – Jesus
P. Jason Hubbard
Genesis 1:2 NASB20 – And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
God light into the darkness.
Genesis 1:3-4 NASB20 – Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
Isaiah 9:2-4 NASB20 – The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them. You will multiply the nation, You will increase their joy; they will rejoice in Your presence as with the joy of harvest, as people rejoice when they divide the spoils. For You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.
The light of is God with us.
John 8:12 NASB20 – Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
John 1:1-5 NASB20 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.
The light through us.
Matthew 5:14-16 NLT – “You are the light of the world–like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
God is with you now and brings the Light of life into your darkness.
