Jesus, You are the SUNRISE!!  You are the LIGHT that shines with glorious colors in the first break of dawn!  This is from the prophesy of Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist.   He declared that his son, John, would go on before You, Jesus, to prepare Your way and to teach people about SALVATION and the FORGIVENESS of sin.   Jesus is referred to as the SUNRISE  - the One who would SHINE upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace!  Again, this is the Gospel - the reason why You came!!   This astounds me!  This was all part of God's plan when John was born.  John was to prepare the way for You.  You are Jesus - the SUNRISE - the LIGHT that has come into the world!   John 1:5 says, "In Him was life, and the life was the LIGHT of men.   And the LIGHT shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overpower it."   Again, I am blown away by You!  I am overwhelmed by You and the majesty of Your plan for me and our world! Because of God's TENDER MERCY, He sent You, Jesus, to provide forgiveness of sin through Your death on the cross.   Thank you, Jesus, for being the SUNRISE!!

(Have you looked to Jesus as the LIGHT that shines in the darkness?  Worship Him and thank Him for being the SUNRISE!!)#100dayswithjesus
