What the Bible says about Jesus

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24,25.

The Church as a Lighthouse

 Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon

O faro, minha estrutura humana favorita cujo propósito é alertar e salvar vidas humanas do perigo do mar. Essa imágem aparece na foto de cabeçalho do meu blog. Cuidado quando a luz se apaga durante noites escuras. Mas a luz divina nunca se apaga e brilha nas trevas!
Não podemos pensar que este sistema de alerta protetor contra os perigos do mar furioso pode ser substituido com um clube que provee entretenimento e engano para pessoas pensando que são salvos quando de fato não é a estrutura que os protege mas a Luz divina que brilla dentro dela. 
 
²¹ E chamou ao menino Icabode, dizendo: De Israel se foi a glória! Porque a arca de Deus foi tomada, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.
²² E disse: De Israel a glória é levada presa; pois é tomada a arca de Deus. 1 Samuel 4:21,22
 
Ezequiel 11:23. João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada
E a glória do Senhor se alçou desde o meio da cidade, e se pôs sobre o monte que está ao oriente da cidade.
Maranata!
 
The Lighthouse, my favorite human structure whose purpose is to alert and save human lives from iminent danger from the sea. It appears in the photo as the header on my blog.
 
Be careful when the light goes off during dark nights. But the divine Light never goes out and always shines through the darkest nights. Let us not think that we can change this essential warning system protecting us against the perils of the raging seas into a club whose purpose is to entertain and deceive people into thinking that they are safe when in reality it´s not the structure that is important but the Light therein.
 
…20As she was dying, the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son!” But she did not respond or pay any heed. 21And she named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured and her father-in-law and her husband had been killed. 22“The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “for the ark of God has been captured.”…
 
God's Glory Exits the Temple
 
18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim. 19As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them. Ezekiel 10:18-19.
 
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
Ezekiel 11:22-25 Here is the departure of God's presence from the city and temple. It was from the Mount of Olives that the vision went up, typifying the ascension of Christ to heaven from that very mountain. Though the Lord will not forsake his people, yet he may be driven away from any part of his visible church by their sins, and woe will be upon them when He withdraws his presence, glory, and protection.
