The LIFE Appeared

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,

Which we have seen with our eyes,

Which we have looked at and our hands have touched--

This we proclaim concerning the Word of LIFE.

The LIFE appeared;

We have seen it and testify to it,

And we proclaim to you the Eternal LIFE,

Which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,

So that you also may have fellowship with us.

And our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

We write this to make our joy complete.

This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you;

God is Light; in Him there is no darkness at all.

If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness,

We lie and do not live by the Truth.

But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light,

We have fellowship with one another,

And the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

If we claim to be without sin,

We deceive ourselves and the Truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins,

He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins

And purify us from all unrighteousness.

If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar

And His Word has no place in our lives. (1 John 1:1-10 NIV)

Two thousand years ago God presented mankind with His Light,

His Christ, Jesus, The Messiah, The Anointed One.

He came to Israel, His own, and His own rejected Him.

But to those who received Him as The Christ,

He gave them the right to become the sons of God.

Today, and for the last two thousand years,

Christ Jesus has presented Himself to the world

And the world has rejected Him.

Because Israel rejected their Messiah, in 70 AD they lost everything.

Today, the world's rejection of Christ Jesus

Is about to cost them everything.

Everything they hold dear will be taken from them even life itself.

The God of Creation offers ever person LIFE,

But the world loved darkness and the ruler of this world Satan.

So darkness they have chosen and darkness it will be,

Eternal darkness for all who reject Christ Jesus.

However, it will be Eternal LIFE and Light

For those who receive Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord

And walk in His Light. Hallelujah!
