see John 12 verse 46
I came into this world as a light says
the Lord I came into this world as a
light
I came so that everyone who believes in
Me will not stay in darkness you see no

increase everywhere in Jesus mighty name
amen so lord give us your word speak
with your voice speak into the hearts of
those who are under the power of your
voice you see many many we go back many
reject the Lord Jesus many
because we believe what men believe to
follow and believe Jesus and the pride
of man does not let them do that they
think oh my god people are following him
invoking the word god and from the
earliest prophecies the prophet had said
Lord who believed what we told them who
believes our world a word I asked you
who believes my word who believed what
we told them
who has seen the Lord his power who has
seen the Lord
but God has made their eyes blind those
who cannot see God cannot see the light
but only see their own profit and their
own ego and whatever and go to and fro
in the wind in the opinion and the words
of the world for this God who has made
their eyes blind and their hearts hard
for fear that they might see with their
eyes and get knowledge with their hearts
and repent and be changed and the Lord
might make them well
everyone who puts the words of our Lord
Jesus to one side and doesn’t take them
too hard will be judged his word will
judge on the last day for God’s Word
does not return to Him void blessed be
your Lord blessed be our Lord and may
your greatest love may your first love
beyond to the Lord
and not onto the world in Jesus mighty
name amen
so you may come out of that darkness and
not living it but have faith in our Lord
and live in the light no matter what is
going on in your life amen amen and amen
let us do a reading John 12 verse 1 Lord
give us your word speak with your voice
speak unto the hearts of those who are
under the power of your voice i bind
every thought that is not of God
I cast down every stronghold every
domain every Dominion everything that
holds you in bondage every eye blinder
every beam every speck of dust is cast
down to the ground in Jesus mighty name
Amen
blessed be our Lord amen
John 12 verse 1
then six days before the Passover Jesus
came to Bethany where Lazarus was whom
Jesus had made to come back from the
dead so they made him a meal there and
he was waited on by Martha and Lazarus
was among those who were seated with him
at table then Mary taking a pound of
perfumed oil of great value put it on
the feet of Jesus and made him dry with
her hair and a house became full of the
smell of the perfume but one of his
disciples Judas Iscariot who was to give
him up said why was not this perfume
traded for three hundred Pence and a
mint money given to the poor he said
this not because he had any love for the
poor but he because he was a thief and
having the money bad took for himself
what was put into him
and then Jesus said let her be let her
keep what she has for the day of my
death the poor you have ever with you
but me you have not for ever a sobering
thought then a great number of the Jews
had news that he was there and they came
not only because of Jesus but so that
they might see Lazarus who had been dead
and to whom he had given life no they
was talk among the chief priests of
footing Lazarus to death of course they
want to put Jesus to death and of course
they want to put the evidence of him
bringing back to life what was dead they
want to put that away also for because
of him a great number of the Jews went
away and had belief in Jesus they went
away from where from following the chief
priests and the Pharisees the day after
a great number of people who were there
for the feast when they had the news
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem took
branches of palm trees and went out to
him crying a blessing on him who comes
in the name of the Lord the king of
Israel hosanna in the highest
and Jesus saw a young ass and took his
seat on it as the writings say have no
fear daughter of Zion see your king is
coming seated on a young hands these
things were not clear to his disciples
at first but
when Jesus had been lifted up into his
glory then it came to their minds that
these things in the writings were about
him and that they had been done to him
now the people who were with him when
his voice came to Lazarus in the place
of the Dead and gave him life again had
been talking about it
and that was the reason the people went
out to him because it had come to their
ears that he had done this sign then the
Pharisees said one to another you see
you are unable to do anything the world
has gone after him now there were some
Greeks among the people who had come up
to give worship at the feast they came
to Philip who was of Bethsaida in
Galilee and made a request saying sir we
have a desire to see Jesus
Philip went and gave word of it to
Andrew and Andrew went to Philip he went
with Philip to Jesus and Jesus said to
them in answer the hour of the glory of
the Son of man has come truly I say to
you if a seed of grain does not go into
the earth and come to an end it is still
a seed and no more but through its death
it gives much fruit he who is in love
with life will have it taken from him
and he who has no care for his life in
this world will keep it for ever and
ever
the more you worry about this life the
more you’re closer to losing it the less
you worry about him the more you’re
likely to keep
ever notice who people who run after
money are always stressed out about it
might even god forbid have a heart
attack or something like that about it
those who are busy with other things
money comes to them because they’re not
busy with money John 12 verse 26 if any
man is my servant let him come after me
and where I am there my servant will be
if any man becomes my servant my father
will give him honor knowing my now is my
soul troubled and what am I to say
father keep me from this hour no for
this purpose have I come to this hour
remember the doctrine of the Bible
Christ Jesus came to be a savior for
sinners he took that cup of wrath
because of our transgressions he took it
so that we might not have to take it so
that me we might be deemed clean
righteous through his son verse 28
father give glory to your name then
there came a voice out of heaven saying
I have given it glory and I will give it
glory again hearing the sound a number
of people who were there said that it
was stunned err others said an angel was
talking to him jesus said in answer this
voice came not for me but for you
pay attention now in several places the
Word of God says that when God spoke it
was not to the benefit of Jesus but to
the benefit so that those who are in
hearing distance might believe John 12
verse 31 now is this world to be judged
now with the ruler of this world be sent
out and I if I am lifted up from the
earth will make all men come to me
this he said pointing to the sort of
death he would have lifted up on a cross
then the people in answer said to him
the law says that the Christ will have
life without end how say you then that
it is necessary for the Son of Man to be
lifted up who is this son of me the Word
of God is talking about eternal life
eternal communion with God in that New
Jerusalem where there is no temple but
God and the lamb are the temple where
there is nothing not a thing that gives
light but we are God lights it and the
lamb is the light but people who want to
see things in a worldly way I need the
facts ever ever looked at the facts that
some people call fast they’re not facts
they’re your perception when people
could only perceive the world not as a
sphere but as far as they could see they
said the world was flat now their
perception is that the world is round
a fact is a fact until it is disproven
the Word of God speaks about life in
different terms than what we can see
touch it speaks about a spiritual life
but the people were unable to understand
the words in that context and so it has
been then so it is now and so it will be
for a while because the world makes you
think that the things of the world are
more important than the things of God
John 12 verse 35 Jesus said to them for
a little time longer you for a little
time longer the light will be among you
while you have the light go on walking
in it so that the dark may not overtake
you 1 walking in the dark has no
knowledge of where he is going if you’re
not walking with Jesus if you’re not
walking in knowledge of the Spirit you
have no idea where you’re going you make
plans and you hear advice from this one
and that one because they have been
through this and they know this and they
know that but when you walk in the dark
in the wisdom of the world you have no
knowledge of where you are going insofar
as you have the light then put your
faith in the light so that you may
become sons of light with these words
Jesus went away and for a time was not
seen again by them he continuously
speaks about the light you see if you go
out out of a city in a city there’s
always like but if you go out of a city
into the woods at night on a cloudy
night there is only darkness which way
is which you have no idea
Christ is trying to explain to us that
he is the light his words guide you
scripture guides you he guides you the
way the way but if you reject that way
because it is impractical not scientific
I don’t understand it
whatever your reasoning may be your
reasoning maybe you are in the dark
alone in the woods at night under heavy
cloud covering without knowing which way
is which not even seeing the tips of
your hand the tips of your fingers bless
it be your Lord for being or low our
light so insofar as you have the light
put your faith in him so that you may
become sons of light people who know
which way is which for the Word of God
is sharper than any two-edged sword able
to separate flesh from bone able to make
a division between what is right and
what is wrong with these words Jesus
went away and for a time was not seen
again by then but though he had done
such a number of signs before them they
still had no belief in him you see
people who think a certain way they tend
to push away everything
everything that proves that they are
wrong and they hold on to that one
common to that one thing that proves
their way because they are guided by
their ego by their pride the downfall of
all men John 12 verse 38 so that the
words of the prophet Isaiah might come
true when he said Lord who has any
belief in our preaching and the arm of
the Lord to whom has it been unveiled
Lord who has believed or preaching I ask
you Lord who has believed or preaching
and your power Lord who has seen your
mighty outstretched arm Lord for this
reason you are chosen for this reason
they were unable to have belief because
Isaiah said again he has made their eyes
blind and their hearts hard for fear
that they might see with their eyes and
get knowledge with their hearts and be
changed and I might make them well
Isaiah said these words because he saw
his glory his words were about him
however a number even of the rulers had
belief in him but because of the
Pharisees because of the church
authority who were able to take them out
of worldly fellowship yes I said that I
just said that they did not say so
openly for fear that they might be shut
out from the synagogue
disfellowship for the praise of men was
the error to them than the approval of
God then Jesus said with a loud voice he
who has faith in me has faith not in me
but in him who sent me remember Jesus is
speaking to the Jewish nation most of
them there were Jews except for the top
rulers and the top soldiers who were
Romans remember Israel was being
oppressed at that time there was no
freedom there was basically slaves read
about the Roman Empire and he who sees
me sees him who sent me he who has faith
in me has faith not in me but in him who
sent me and he who sees me sees him who
sent me in those days if you could see
Jesus you saw God is spirit in these
days if you can see Jesus you are seeing
God this spirit for Jesus is Lord I have
come verse 46 as a light into the world
so that you might see God I have come as
a light into the world so that no one
who has faith in me will go on living in
the dark without knowledge of who and
what God and if any man gives ear to my
words and does not keep them I am NOT
his judge I did not come to be judge of
the world but to give salvation to the
world
the doctrine of Christianity Christ
Jesus came to be a savior for all
sinners he who puts me on one side and
does not take my words to heart is not
without a judge the word which I have
said will be his judge on the last day
for God’s Word does not return to Him
void does not return to him without
effect for I have not said it on my
authority but the father who sent me
gave me orders what to say and how to
say and I have knowledge that his order
is eternal life so that the things which
I say I say them even as the father says
them to me in the beginning was the word
and the Word was with God and the Word
was God the same was in the beginning
with God all things were made by him and
without him was not anything made that
was me in him was life and a life was
the light of men and the light shines in
darkness and the darkness understands it
not that was the true light which lights
every man that comes into the world he
was in the world and the world was made
by him take note the word which was God
the word which became
flesh and dwelt among us Jesus he was in
the world and the world was made by him
and the world knew him not he came on to
his own and his own received him not
those who worshipped God those who
worshiped him for the word was God but
as many as do so receive him to them he
gives the power to become the sons of
God to them that believe on his name on
his name have faith in me and live in
the life those who believe on his name
which are born not of blood nor of the
will of the flesh or of the will of man
but of God and the Word was made flesh
and dwelt among us and we beheld his
glory the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father full of grace and truth
blessed be our Lord for no man has seen
God at any time the only begotten Son
the image of God the spirit which is in
the bosom of the Father he declares him
blessed be our Lord have faith in our
Lord and live in the life
in the beginning was the word and the
Word was with God and the Word was God
and that word is in the beginning was
the word and a word the power of God in
the beginning was the word and that word
is his name is Jesus light of the world
Jesus king over Kings his name is Jesus
bread of life Jesus the Word of God his
name is Jesus light of the world Jesus
God with us
