Prepare for Jesus Christ's Return!

When God’s light exposes and judges your sin and weakness, how do you respond? Do you hide or condemn yourself? “The Lord is my light and my salvation;…” (Ps. 27:1a).

✅ The connection between God’s light and your preparation for Christ’s return

✅ How to let your light shine before men as a witness of Christ

“…God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another…” (1 John 1:5b-7a). Light is necessary and important when you serve God. Light shows you God’s plan and what is well-pleasing to Him. At the same time, it also exposes what needs to be judged in your heart. Thus, one function of the holy priesthood is to tend to the golden lampstand in the Holy Place by filling it with oil daily and trimming the wick to keep the light burning bright. You can only serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear when you are in the light. Walk in the light to be transformed and to prepare for His soon return!
