Light Shines In The Darkness


In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:1-3)

Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles.

He had written to Theophilus before, most probably the Gospel according to Luke. In that book, he had written an orderly account about the Lord Jesus Christ, to convince Theophilus of the certainty of the Gospel of Christ.

The Gospel of Luke is about all that Jesus began to do and to teach. It is about the coming of the Kingdom of God. It is about the work of salvation through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary. It is about the work of the Holy Spirit in relation to our Savior. It is about faith and devotion to Jesus Christ, and the Cost of Discipleship. It is about the great Commission. It is about the fulfillment of the OT prophecies. It is about the love of the Father.....

The Lord Jesus Christ was taken up to heaven after His suffering and death on the Cross, after He had conquered death and Satan's hold of our lives. The Lord Jesus Christ was taken up to be with God the Father in Heaven.

The world is coming to the end.  The last Judgment is approaching. The Lord Jesus Christ will come again in Glory. He will triumph over all His enemies.

Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit is with us, guiding us into all truths, bringing us the blessings of Heaven, helping us in our spiritual battles, protecting us, teaching us, comforting us, proving our faith genuine, ......

Church leaders are to continue the work. The people of God are to be gathered. The Church of God is to be  established. Light must continue to shine in the Darkness. Missionaries all over the world are making disciples. The night of darkness is coming, when no one can work.

Light penetrates Darkness.

Wait On God


Be still, and know that I am God. 
- Psalm 46:10 -

We are to cease striving.

We are to let God intervene in our situation without our interference.

We are not to push things out of our way.

We are not to protect ourselves.

We are not to strike back.

We are to put our hands down.

We may feel defenseless and vulnerable.

But God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

We must stop struggling and wait on God to do His work!

Jesus Is The Way


I am the way, the truth, and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through Me. 
- John 14:6 - 

Jesus is the only way to know God.

Only through Him can we get to heaven.

Jesus is the Son of the living God (Matt. 16:16).

He is the ultimate spiritual authority.

He proved it with His death and resurrection.

We need not look for any new path of salvation.

We just have to know about Christ.

Jesus is the only One who can provide spiritual certainty.

He will take us all the way to heaven.

Let us be found ready and waiting for Christ's return.
