THE 33:12 REPORT - The Christmas Message Is Glad Tidings - But Only for Those who Receive It (John 3, v19- 21)

We plead with every non-believer today, as an aspect of love to our neighbour, you must urgently come to Christ, the Light of the world, in repentance and faith, before the light is withdrawn, before God’s gracious drawing of you ceases, because of your continuous refusal to come.The Lord Jesus Christ is the world's only light; that is, He removes all spiritual darkness and brings salvation, and there is salvation in none other.Without Christ's Light man remains in a dreadful darkness. He is as it were already in the darkness of his grave, and without a remedy. This is an eternal darkness. All people by nature are locked in this darkness, which is inspired by Satan.All without Christ are already under condemnation because they have wilfully rejected Christ's light. They have rejected it, because they prefer their sins.However, all who, on hearing God’s word and on being drawn by the Holy Spirit, resolve to repent of sin and trust in Christ for mercy will be rescued and brought into the light, the light which leads on to everlasting life.Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and the world’s only Light. There is no other way in which to find mercy and peace with God. We therefore declare to men today concerning Christ, the Light of the world, “While ye have the light, believe in the light”.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for listening to this episode.
