Keep your eyes on the goodness of God.

We have a spiritual enemy. 
The enemy wants to tear down this work.
The enemy does not want you, or people, to come hear the Word.

Believers have spiritual attacks. Unbelievers are ripped off by the enemy but are not attacked, because they are already going in the wrong spiritual direction.

Life has its challenges for believers and unbelievers. Challenges become meaningful as a way to grow for the believer. Remember, bumps are what you climb on and grow through.

Our spiritual journey goes from seeing Jesus as a Savior of the world,
to the Savior of the World, (exclusive)
to my Savior, in this world. (personal)

Most of the world rejects the offer of a personal relationship with God and rejects the love and forgiveness God offers them.

When you reject Jesus as your salvation, you also reject His light; leaving you in this world, with no forgiveness, and with no light.

Light attracts the seekers. It also attracts bugs.

Jesus is always shining no matter how dark it gets.

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 "This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: 'On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.  25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.  27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
