John 12:46,47 - I have come into the world as light

12:46

Without Christ we live in darkness. In his rebellion against God man has chosen to live in darkness, not knowing where he is going. It is only when we put God first, when we listen to what He says, that we are living as we ought to live. When we rebel we become foolish, and we see many examples of this in life. If we live according to a lie life becomes increasingly complicated, and eventually we get found out. Transgenderism is a current example where our thinking has become foolishness. So how do we get back on track? We need to believe in Christ, He is the light, and when we turn to Him we find our way back to the proper track.


12:47

But what if someone does not listen to Christ, then it is not Christ who judges him as such. One day He will return and will judge the world, but for now He has come to save the world. We fear that if we are found to be in the wrong then we will be judged. The call at present is to recognise our sinfulness and to believe in Christ. Then we will not be judged. Instead, we will be forgiven, and through the Holy Spirit a work of transformation will begin in our lives.
