Jesus Christ is the Word of God. God shows himself to us in Jesus. So Jesus is like God’s message to us. God speaks to us in a way that we can understand, because Jesus lived as a real person. The Word (Jesus Christ) is like light. He shows us what is true. The dark means the power of God’s enemy, Satan. Satan tries to hide what is true. God’s light shines in the dark places and Satan cannot stop that light. Jesus said that he was the light of the world. John 8:12 EASY> Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Those people who become my disciples will never walk in the dark. No, they will have the light that gives life.’; John 9:5 EASY> While I am still here in the world, I am the world’s light.’:. This was John the Baptist. He was not the man called John who wrote this book. Israel’s people believed that God would send his prophet Elijah and at least one other great prophet to them. They believed that these prophets must come before God would send his Messiah. It reads in Isaiah 40:3 EASY>Somebody’s voice is shouting, ‘Prepare a way in the wilderness for the Lord. Make a straight road in the desert for our God. John the Baptist called Jesus ‘God’s Lamb’. Then the people would remember the lambs that they killed for the Passover meal. Jesus Christ was God’s Lamb, who came to die on our behalf. He came to save us from sin. Jesus called himself the ‘Son of Man’. He is the true man who came to earth from God. He came with God’s authority. The prophets spoke about him (Daniel 7:13 EASY> I continued to watch in my vision at night and this is what I saw: I saw someone who seemed like a son of man. He was coming towards me, with the clouds of the sky around him. He came near to the God who has ruled forever. People took him to stand in front of God.). He is the Messiah. He is the Messiah. Those who are ready and willing to respond to the call of Jesus in their lives and recognize that Jesus is not only the Son of Man Who died on the Cross to pay the price for our sins but God the Son Who rose from the dead so that by faith in Him we might not perish but have everlasting life.
