The Transformed Life - Part 1

Colossians 1:13 We have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His Love - World English Bible

The Light of the glorious gospel now shines in our hearts by the power of Holy Spirit. We are light beings.We are not mere men.

Gospel of John (Introduction)- William Barclay
 To John the miracles were not simply single events in time;  they were not simply isolated events in time; they were insights into what God was always doing and what Jesus always is; they were windows into the reality of God.  Jesus did not merely once feed five thousand people; that was an illustration that He is for ever the real Bread of Life. Jesus did not merely once open the eyes of a blind man. He is forever the Light of the world. 

Jesus did not just raise Lazarus from the dead; He is forever and for all men the Resurrection and the Life. 

To John a miracle was never an isolated event; it was always a window into the reality of what Jesus always was and always is and always did and always does.
God’s Word is the transmitting of His thoughts, purposes and intentions = His will.
Jesus was and is the express image of God’s will.

God’s will was reflected and demonstrated by Jesus in His ministry. He proved as a man what could be done when totally filled with the Spirit and life of God and totally yielded to the Father.

Heaven’s will and power was always demonstrated. 

John presented a spiritual gospel, not historical. John presented Jesus as the mind of God in a person come to earth, and as the One person who possesses reality instead of shadows and able to lead men out of the shadows into the light.

Jesus was and is the Light of the world and now that Light lives and shines in and through us.
May our Light shine brightly today in the power of the Holy Ghost.
