John 8:12 ~ I am the light of the world






John 8:12


 I am the light of the world: 
he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, 
but shall have the light of life.




Revelation 21 

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 

Luke 10 speaks of New! Jesus tells us Satan has fallen from Heaven. Heaven is the Heaven we think of, not Sheol. When we think of our going to Heaven, we surely know this is Jesus' Kingdom He has sacrificed to give to His Father. The Glory of God in not breaking a bruised reed and Satan is fallen from His Glory and is no longer an Angel.  We know in our depths, this isn't Matilda's Kingdom or Granny's Kingdom or Uncle Richard's. This is the Kingdom, the Power and Glory of God, our Heavenly Father. Abba, so we can tell if we are speaking of our best and greatest earthly Father or the Glory of God's Father Love for you.






2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.







The new Jerusalem, born not of hammers and the will of mankind.

The new Jerusalem is born of God's Will. His Word.

John 1 
But to all who did receive Him, who believed in his name, 
he gave the right to become children of God, 
 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, 
but of God.







The New Jerusalem arrives like Genesis, the Word of God manifest.
Arrives on a hill, like Noah.


























 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
 “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. 

He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”


We see again Heaven explains the Names of Christ Jesus, His Holy Kingdom



5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” 




Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 

6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, 
the beginning and the end. 


To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 

7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 

8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”







And God said, Let there be Light.











9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 






10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 



Having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, 
like a jasper, clear as crystal. 1

2 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.


15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement. 

18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 








19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. 

The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.







22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple 
is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.  

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 

By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, 

And its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 

26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

 27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.


And God said, 

"Let there be Light!"




When we see Glory, God usually has us understand Glory in all the color God describes and loves.

And we shouldn't think of Heaven as only blue skies. God tells us the Heavens display His Glory. 





Let's see another example of the Light in Heaven, Jesus Christ of God, Lamb, Light of Heaven, 
Light of mankind.  Consider the Light.


Isaiah 2:1-5


He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths."
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.

5 Come, O house of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the LORD.




To know the Scriptures is to know the Power of God.

1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. 
Now I know in part, 
but then I shall know 
just as I also am known.


1 Corinthians 2: 7-9

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 
8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; 
for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 
9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those 
who love Him.”


John 1

6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 

9 The true light that gives Light 
to every man 
was coming into the world.


Psalm 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!


The darkness is not dark to Him.
All are for His Glory.
In our weakness, let Jesus be Lord.


2 Clouds and thick darkness 
are all around him;
righteousness and justice are 
the foundation of His throne.

3 Fire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.

4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness,
and all the peoples see His glory.



7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O LORD.

9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the LORD, hate evil!

He preserves the lives of his saints;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,
and give thanks to His holy name! 



Nehemiah 8:10 

for the joy of the Lord 
is your strength.

The Lord Jesus Christ
bless us
to see 
more of Heaven on earth, we ask

for all of Your Good Creation 
in the Highest Name of Jesus. Amen.





Abba, Father,

Our Father, Who art in Heaven.

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done.
On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day.
Our Daily Bread.

Forgive us our Trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,
Deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom
Thine is the Power,
Thine is the Glory.

Amen.

Jesus is Lord.

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
