LIGHTSHINE

Greetings Sunshine. Well...we have session number two under our collective belts...and so far...so good. After a quick review from last session we plowed into the book with salivating anticipation of the bread of the Word.

We recalled in our last episode that (1) the word know appears approximately 39 times in 5 short chapters
(2) knowing means to take in knowledge, to come to know, recognize, understand, to understand completely of what we have seen or perceived. (3) The Word of Life=Jesus (4) We must have the personal touch where we hear, see, behold, and touch Jesus (5) fellowship= koinonia=koine (common), communion, sharing, communication (6) completed joy= koinoinia/fellowship with (a) Jesus (b) The Father (c) us (d) you=the completed koinonia circuit.

In todays session we shedded a little light on...LIGHT. Light is from the greek word phos=to shine or make manifest, especially by rays, liminousness, fire, light. This is in contrast to darkness which is skotos= a shadiness, obscurity, dimness. We saw that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship...and walk in darkness...we lie and do not practice the truth.

Jesus is in the light...and is found clean. We are to be in the light...but we are not found clean...so we must confess, repent, apply the blood of Jesus so that we can be cleansed from all unrighteousness. In Him we are clean...outside of Him we are not clean. By Jesus we go from a Romans 3:10 mentality to a II Corinthians 5:21 mentality...we go from there is NONE rightesous NO not ONE...to we ARE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN CHRIST. The first step...is to identify what we are by the light...and then correct that in Him.

Well...until next time....keep on KNOWING....

Love and Lighted Kisses
