Life is the Light

Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.
(John 1:4 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)

Jesus is the Lamb of God, Who came to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He didn’t come to take away sin by giving the world better rules. He came, instead, to invite us to Life. Life is what shines on our paths to lead us to righteousness. The strength of sin is the law. The strength of righteousness is the Spirit of Righteousness.

O Death, where is your victory? O Death, where is your sting?
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
