Who is Jesus? #97 (From the Apocalypse)

"His Head and Hair were white like wool, as white as snow"
"Let there be light!" - the first words spoken by God as reported in the Bible. Maybe more correctly, "Let light be!" We understand/believe that Jesus was there with God at the creation of all things. He is part of the "let us..." (Genesis 1:26). John 1:1 says the Word (Jesus) was there in the beginning.
I find it interesting that the first thing associated with Jesus in the Bible (In Genesis) is light and one of the last things associated with Jesus (In Revelation) is light.
Could it be that the first thing that God wanted to show in his spiritual creation was light and the first thing he wanted to show in his spiritual creation was also light?

Then, as dark was the world was, Jesus came as light into it. Light that shines in stark contrast to the ways of the world.

Sometimes, my world is dark. Sometimes because I make it that way - maybe more often than I like to think. Sometimes, others make my world dark - especially that one who loves the darkness.

Regardless, the one with the head and hair as while as wool is there. The light still shines. The brilliance of His image and glory is real and in sight.

Show me the way to you, dear Jesus.

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
