JOHN 17




15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.



LIVING LIGHTS




Jesus is our great intercessor, he sits at the right hand of the Father, praying for us day and night. He knows our every and deepest needs and prays for them.. isn't that amazing and wonderful?




Here he prays for the believers who will come after the apostles.. that's you and me folks




Some of us, me included at times want to go and live on a desert island or as a hermit, but we can't, we have to live in the real world, we have to go to work, we have to interact with the majority of people, who don't love the Saviour like we do and we have to live in a world that is filled with evil.




Jesus doesn't pray that we would be taken out of the world, but that we would live in the world and shine as living lights.




My friends, we are the lights who light up this dark world, we have the bright light of Jesus living inside of us.




Jesus says in the sermon on the mount, these words in Matthew Chapter 5




14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your [z]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and [aa]recognizeand honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

We are to let Christ live in us through the Holy Spirit, so that people can see it. To do this, we must allow Jesus to be Lord of our lives, we need to be connected to the vine of Jesus, as we are the branches John 15. We must let God's word dwell in us richly Colossians 3:16 and we must pray always 1 Thess 5:18-20



Let us shine our lights brightly, so we can light up this world and expose all the badness and evil in it, instead of being overcome by it Ephesians 5:8-13



God bless you

John 7

37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me[who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Saviour] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honour) Amplified Bible.


JESUS THE THIRST QUENCHER


What an offer by Jesus. People are so thirsty, Amen. It was the last day of the feast and Jesus stands up and says this amazing statement of truth.


People are desperate in today's society, they are thirsting for meaning, and Jesus provides the water they so desperately need


Not only does He quench people's thirst, but when He does, the person whose thirst is quenched, goes on the pour out this living water to everyone he/she meets.


The holy spirit is the indwelling power that is in the Christian, and this power flows out of them and affects everyone they come into contact with.


I have four questions



Have you accepted the offer of Jesus ?

Have you come to Jesus and drunk of the water of life ?


If you have, is living water flowing out of you ?


Today have you given someone a taste of that living water by your words or your life ?

You will reap bountifully if you have.


God bless you

Keith
