He testified!
33 “You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.-John5:33-36
From the time of
Moses, up to the time of the prophets, and until John the Baptist,
they all testified to the truth. And what is the truth? The truth
that God is with us, pained by our sins, chastises gently, and
gathers us back to Him. Yes, He loves us. The prophets shone like a
lamp that gives light. They gave us enlightenment through their
prophecies, sacrifices, teachings and miracles. And, the prophets
showed the way - the way closer to God through repentance and turning
away from sins.
The prophets
testified to the truth, showed the way and shone like the light. The
prophets came into existence to prepare us for the coming of Jesus.
Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Jesus is The Way, and His
Way is marked with Love and Light. Jesus is The Truth, and His Truth
is Love. Jesus is The Life, and the Life that He gives to those who
go to Him is marked with Love, Peace and Contentment, a life of
Light!
Jesus is inviting
us all to be witnesses of Him who gives us Life wherever we go, but
it is not only through proclaiming the Word alone. Rather, the best
way to be present-day witnesses of Jesus is through our Christ-like
day-to-day interaction and existence with our neighbors through love,
peace and respect amongst so many others.
