"Then Jesus said unto
them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk
while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have
light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake
Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them." John 12:35,36
Yet a little while is the light with you. (Speaking of His death) Jesus
is the Light that is among them. Let’s take a look at the phrase “A
little while longer”.
We do not know when our time on earth will end. While in this “little
while longer”
life span, we need to be doing two things that are mentioned in this passage.
Verse 36 While ye have
light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.
Key Word – “Believe” – Several times in Scripture – John 3:15, 16, 18, &
3:36.
Verse 35: Walk while ye
have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth.
Take note of these statements:
You must
believe in the Light (Jesus Christ) before you can walk in the Light.
As you
walk in the Light, you will behold the Father Who sent Christ, the Light.
Jesus said in verse 46:
“I
am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide
in darkness."
Personalize
John 3:16 to read like this:
For God so loved “me” the He
gave His only begotten Son, that if “I” believe in Him, “I”
shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
If Jesus were to come for the
church today, would you go with Him, or be left behind? If the answer is “left
behind”, change it today.
Believe
in Him (Jesus) and walk with Him today and have no regrets tomorrow…
