IYAR 6

Light

 

“… in Your LIGHT do we see light.”   (Ps 36:9 HRVS, emphasis mine)

 

 “And again Yeshua was speaking to them and said, I AM the LIGHT of the world.  He who follows ME will not walk in darkness, but will find for himself the LIGHT of life." (John 8:12 HRVS, emphasis mine)

 

Scriptures teach us that Messiah Yeshua is the Living Word, the Word made flesh, the One who came to dwell among us (see John 1:1; 14).  Further research reveals to us that the word Torah (often used synonymously with the “Word”), loosely means “divine instructions in righteous and moral living”.  Does it not stand to reason, therefore, that if we are in Messiah (Rom 8:1-2; 2Cor 5:17; Gal 3:26), who is not only the Living Torah (Word), but the Light of the world (see our opening verses), He will give us of His light to illuminate the written Torah?  Without the abiding spotlight of our Messiah, we will have little understanding of the ways of our Elohim (see John 12:46).

 

Whose light are we chasing?

 

“For the commandment is a lamp, and the TORAH is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life” (Pro 6:23 HRVS)

 

“For it is the God who once said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has made HIS LIGHT shine in our hearts, the LIGHT of the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.”  (2Cor 4:6 CJB, emphasis mine)
