Jesus, who cleanses and saves
Walk in the Light, as He is in the light ~ 1 John 1: 6 - 9
Key Verse : Verse :7
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another.

DEVOTION

Today, 1 John 1: 6 – 9 calls us to "walk in the light, as He is in the light." This powerful invitation isn’t just about shining light on our actions— but embracing Jesus. What does it mean to walk in the light?
1. Walking in Truth – Jesus, the Truth.
To walk in the light means living in truth. When we walk in the light of Jesus, means living authentically, reflecting His truth in a world full of lies.
2. Walking in Purity – Jesus, Who Cleanses Us.
God’s light is pure, and Jesus cleanses us. His blood cleanses our sins, making us pure before God. Only through Jesus can we walk in the light and live in holiness.
3. Walking in Fellowship – Jesus, Who Saves.
Walking in the light means living in fellowship with God and one another. Jesus saves us from darkness and brings us into His glorious light, where we experience true community and grace.
4. Walking and Following Jesus' Steps – Who Saves and Transforms.
Walking in the light means following Jesus, who leads, saves, and transforms us daily.

Let us step boldly into the light of Christ, allowing His cleansing power to purify us, His salvation to transform us, and His truth to guide every step we take.

   PRAYER

Loving Father, we praise You and glorify Your holy name. Help us walk in Your light, living
with purity and passion for You. Grant us the courage and wisdom to reflect Your cleansing
power and salvation, so we may shine brightly in this dark world and draw others to You. Amen.

 
Thought for the day

I leave you all with a quote by John Wesley: "Give me a hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen. Such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth." When we walk in God’s light with purity and passion, we carry the power to transform the world—bringing His cleansing, salvation, and the kingdom of heaven to earth.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
