As John was, we, the children of the Most High God, are chosen to be the “lights” that shine, in His name, to those who would come. (Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven).
John was sent prior to Yashuah’s appearance on earth (His birth), to tell all who would listen, of His coming and the good news and impact it would have for those who accepted, trust, and believe. As the Light, Jesus would shine so bright, upon mankind, bringing them out of the darkness of sin, back into YAH’s family of the True Light and righteousness. (John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world). John was Jesus’ cousin, who came before the Lord, as instrumented by GOD, to be a witness – one who gives testimony (A solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact). As John did, we are to be quick to attest, (To bear witness; to; to certify; to affirm to be true or genuine; to make a solemn declaration in words or writing, to support a fact; appropriately used the affirmation of, in this case Yashuah (Jesus), in His official capacity of The Son of the Living God, our Lord and Saviour), of the fact and event of His Birth, Death and Resurrection. (John 1:6-7 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe). So, must we do now, as John did then, prepare the way, of Yashuah’s second coming, through teaching and preaching what revelation and change Yashuah’s (Jesus’) arrival is going to have on the world. John was the ultimate witness to Yashuah (Jesus), (Who is the true Light, then, now, and always) (John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”). But now, we, as the saints of the LORD, have become modern day Johns, anointed by YHWH, to spread the gospel about the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, due to the urgency, surround all that is going on in the world, all of those who profess to be children of the Most High God are spiritually considered ministers of the Word and we must act as such. It is our duty to always pray and not faint when faced with the of whether to share YAH’s Word or share a lie. (Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint). We come in the form of pastors, preachers, teachers, elders, and scholars of the Word, sent out like sheep among wolves, to spread the Word that Yashuah is our Lord and Saviour and when we believe, only by and through Him are we saved as were the ones who came before us to preach the gospel of Christ. (Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they). Those who teach and preach the gospel are not the Light, but are the ones who stand up for and endure all the adversities that comes with serving, honoring, and glorifying the Light (Jesus). They hold up the banner, (which announces the coming of the Lord) and are the bearers of good news of the Light. We are not the true and ultimate light, but we are sent asones who openly profess our faith in YAH, through His Son Yashuah (the Light), which is the way out of the darkness (sin) for all men. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
