Jesus Pusher 144

I am a Jesus pusher!!! The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light (Matthew 4:16). This refers to the people of Galilee. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah. But it is true of us all! Listen to the words of Paul to Titus, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,” (Titus 2:11). The Greek word (epiphaino) translated has appeared is a combination of two Greek words. The first one presents the idea of “over,” “upon,” or “to.” The second word means, “to shine.” Paul portrays the idea of light. This Greek word (epiphaino) appears first in the Greek text. Evidently Paul felt this was the most important part of his statement. God takes the initiative; He encounters every one!

No one can possibly miss the light. The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light (Matthew 4:16). And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it (John 1:5). These statements establish the invincibility of the light. The darkness cannot overcome the light. This eliminates every excuse. No one can plead ignorance. No one can plead only one chance. The light continually shines. The light is shining even now in the darkness into which you and I may have wandered. This light is Jesus. He is our Way Out! I am a Jesus pusher!!!
