A family of light

last week, Akash taught about those who were coming to Jesus for the wrong reasons and wrong motives

These people did not want to have a true relationship and commitment with Christ but wanted to take from him

Jesus removed these people from himself and saught after people who wanted to learn from him

Disciples of light

Jesus wanted them to be with him

We become light by being in the light

Moses face shined

Disciples learned by being with Christ (Acts 4:13)

Gave them power over darkness

The darkness of disease and devils

They were sent to spread the light of Jesus Christ and the power over darkness

Spirit of light

The work that Jesus did he did through the Spirit of light not darkness

They called him crazy and evil

That he worked through the spirit of darkness

This Spirit of light testifies of who Jesus is and that all must receive His testimony

Jesus argued that if their false testimony was true than satan’s kingdom would soon fall

To reject the testimony of the Spirit and his work in Christ is to receive eternal damnation

Family of light

Jesus’ family wanted him to come home and quit the ministry because of the embaressment it was causing their family

Jesus declared that his family are not those who are of the flesh

They are not his family if they are not doing the will of the father

His true family are those who trust in him and follow him

They do the will of the father and follow the spirit of light

John 12:35-46 stay in the light

Eph 5:8-14 walk as children of light

1 Thessalonians 5:5 children of light
