The
Word, The Light, The Lamb of God
Who
takes away the sin of the world.
John
gives us these terms for Jesus
His
name banner forever unfurled.
The
Son of God existing forever,
The
Word who spoke & all was created.
The
Son of Man dwelt among men
and
was the Light who illuminated.
The
darkness that held man captive
Could
not quench the Light of Jesus.
He
came to die as the Lamb of God
In
the place of sinners and frees us.
The moonlight
Jesus created to illuminate the night pierces the darkness to enable us to see
and avoid obstacles in our way such as the tree in the picture. Jesus is the
Light that pierces the darkness of our hearts with His radiance. When we allow
this Light to dispel the darkness of our sin and trust in Jesus, He transfuses
life where we were once dead. John gives us several names for Jesus each of
which peel away another layer of Jesus’ character. As the Word, He created
everything there is. As the Light, He enables us to see our way and His truth.
As the Lamb of God, He was the perfect sacrifice for our sin. As the Son of
Man, He shows us in a way we can understand, exactly Who God is. As the Life,
He is our everything – our breath, our blood, our heartbeat.
