Divide To Unite

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light FROM the darkness. [Genesis 1:1-4]

He is still dividing the light from the darkness.

"And she will bring forth a Son, and you [Joseph] shall call His name JESUS (literally, Savior), for He will save His people FROM their sins."

That is why He came here; 
To be born impoverished in a dirty stable,
To be raised in a town renowned for its evil reputation, 
To go forth to live as a homeless man and itinerant preacher, 
To make the blind to see, 
to make the deaf to hear, 
To make the lepers whole, 
To make the cripples walk, 
To raise the dead 


And to make the mute able to loudly and boldly praise His name. 

And to be betrayed.
And to be beaten and whipped.
And to be nailed, naked and bleeding to the cross.
And die - alone and condemned because of OUR sins.
And die while covered with darkness that can only be lifted by His righteousness.

He rose from the grave having defeated death and the grave with the keys to it all in His hands.

And when we call on Him in our darkest hour and need ... He separates us, His children of light, FROM the darkness.

"I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness." John 12:46
