Friendship with God

The world is looking for every way they can to see a brighter day, unfortunately they don't realize they are searching in the dark and saying I can't see because they refuse to look for the true light of Christ.

As sinners, it is only through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by His death and resurrection that He can call us the redeemed and rescued from hell.

The Jews are continually searching for hope in the land of Israel, but see no hope, however, one day God will bring His people hope in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When one is in the presence of God, it is then that they can hear the voice of God and understand the truth and be assured they are right about the Lord Jesus Christ.

When people are presented with the truth about the scriptures regarding the Lord Jesus Christ, they respond with its not true and continue in their ignorance.

The devout Jews spend time in devotion and dedication searching the scriptures, yet they will receive Him not because they refuse to believe that the scriptures speak of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God patiently waits for His people to come near to Him so they can hear His voice and walk in obedience.

Our heavenly Father grieves over His people because they have rebelled against His love and mercy.

Following Jesus is the remedy for leaving the darkness of sin and walking in the light.

All of us are unclean things because of our iniquities as we walk in the darkness until we turn to Christ who is the light of life.

This word is a declaration of one walking away from darkness because he does not want to walk in the darkness any longer.

God warns His people against listening to smooth things that make them feel good, instead to hear the hard truths that will turn them from their disobedience to obedience.

God cries out to His people with a great warning to turn from their sins so they will not have to incur the great wrath of His judgment.

The one way the Jewish people were not to forget God was to always keep their eyes on the pillar of fire or pillar of cloud, because God was in the pillar.

God led His people as the Pillar of Light in the wilderness that never left them, as Jesus is the Pillar of Light who will never leave us.

There is going to be a great change for the Jewish people from being branded as rejected because they did not believe Jesus was God, to being accepted because they did believe that Jesus was God.

He is the great rock that casts the shadow over us to protect us from the scorching heat and the raging storms. The great rock has nothing to offer unless one comes to Him and chooses to make Him their hiding place.

The condition to walk in the light is to follow Jesus, the condition to follow Jesus is to walk by faith. One must come to a point of faith in their life if they are to follow Jesus.

The glorious light of Christ overpowers the darkness of Satan and says, “Darkness no more,” so they can walk in the light of Christ.

While His people continually searched for a guiding light in the darkness, They refused to look to the only light that would lead them, the one true light, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The nation of Israel looked to everything else for protection and help but refused to look to the God of Israel for the help they needed.

The book of Isaiah is a wonderful invitation for man to come and be cleansed completely from their sin.

Each man was in the darkness of their own sin and therefore Jesus went to see them again in order to give them another chance to repent of their sin.

Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery because He had a heart for those who had been despised and rejected.

The light of Jesus exposes the darkness. The contrast is that the men went out from the presence of Jesus because their sin was exposed and their motives found out.
