DIGGING DEEP 25 Topic: The Light – Part 2 Text: John 1:1

INTRODUCTION: In the last study we considered the seven colours that combines to give us white, the colour of the perfect light and we saw the spiritual implications of each colour. Tonight we want to consider the various grades of light, from match light to star light, and investigate their spiritual implications of any because earthly things are not unconnected with heavenly things. John 3:12. May the heavenly teacher teach us Himself. Amen.

1. How many grades of light can you mention? What do you consider as their spiritual implications? For example, match light. This is a light that burns fast and brief. It is useful in lighting others but himself burns within seconds. This represents “brethren” who are “hallelujah” men. The men who warmed up other Christians on their way to heaven but are not going themselves. Matt.12:19, Deut.4:9. What then do you think are the spiritual implications of candle light, lantern, electricity light, moon light, sun light, and star light? Candle light: Weak, feeble and brief. This represents those who come for healings, jobs, etc, and disappear as soon as their problems are solved – Matt. 13:20-21, Deut. 6:10-12.
Lantern light: Limited range of illumination. Extent of light depends on quantity of ail present. This represents those who are saved but will never witness or fellowship in a true gospel church. Soon their oil burns out and they relapse into darkness – Matt. 13:22, Jere. 3:21.
Electricity light: Strong and bright. Could be switched off. This represents Christians who are still subject to discouragement – Gal. 6:7, Phil.2:12-15, Phil. 3:12-14.
The Moon light: Gives light to the whole world but has no light of its own. Represents professional evangelist whose efforts benefits other while they themselves live a riddle with sin sickness and frustration, II Tim. 3:5, Rom 2:21, Titus 1:16.
Sunlight: Produces its own light by consuming part of itself, represents sanctified preachers. Wherever they go, they spread warmth and life Gala.2:20, I John 3:24.
Star light: Mighty expanses of space supplied by star light.
Pure White light: Represents Christians who are far gone beyond the point of no return. Almost as perfect as their Lord – Dan. 12:3.

CONCLUSION: The Lord’s goal for me and for you is to shine like the star forever. Have you attained the goal? Will you like to? How about talking to the Lord about it now?.
