The Father of lights

The Father of lights

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, 

with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

 James 1:17

Suggested Further Reading: 

Revelation 21:22-22:5

The apostle, having thus introduced the sun as a figure to represent the Father of lights, finding that it did not bear the full resemblance of the invisible God, seems constrained to amend it by a remark that, unlike the sun, our Father has no turning or variableness. 

The sun has its daily variation; it rises at a different time each day, and it sets at various hours in the course of the year. 

It moves into other parts of the heavens. It is clouded at times, and eclipsed at times. 

It also has tropic; or, turning. It turns its chariot to the South, until, at the solstice, God bids it reverse its rein, and then it visits us once more. 

But God is superior to all figures or emblems. 

He is immutable. 

The sun changes, mountains crumble, the ocean shall be dried up, the stars shall wither from the vault of night; but God, and God alone, remains ever the same. 

Were I to enter into a full discourse on the subject of immutability, my time, if multiplied by a high number, would fail me. But reminding you that there is no change in His power, justice, knowledge, oath, threatening, or decree, I will confine myself to the fact that His love to us knows no variation. 

How often it is called unchangeable, everlasting love! He loves me now as much as he did when first he inscribed my name in his eternal book of election. 

He has not repented of his choice. He has not blotted out one of his chosen; there are no erasures in that book; all whose names are written in it are safe for ever.

For meditation: 

As part of creation the sun speaks of the character of God (Romans 1:20) but even at its brightest can only give a glimpse of his glory. Praise God for the Lord Jesus Christ, the true light (John 1:9) whose face, when transfigured, shone like the sun (Matthew 17:2); God the Son has made God the Father of light known to us (John 1:18).

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, 

you can be accepted into his kingdom. 

 I invite you to let him to make of you what He always wanted. 

"PRAYER" 

Marvelous God Almighty, 

 I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, 

who died for me to make me free of sin, 

 I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free.

 I confess that He is the son of God.

 I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value,

 not only to live on this earth, 

but to be expectant of my life in heaven.

 In the precious name of Jesus I ask. 

Amen..

“The true minister of Christ knows that the true value of a sermon must lie, 

 not in its fashion and manner, 

but in the truth which it contains.”
