Mat 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The people which sat in darkness saw great light!
These people sat in the region and shadow of death!
When Jesus began His ministry on this earth, it was a time of great darkness and death taking hold of many people. And His message for a world in this condition was "Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
This message has been neglected by so many today that darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the people!
Jesus came preaching a simple message: "Repent and turn from your sin and turn to God!"
That's the message we have neglected to be faithful in proclaiming! Why? Because the polls have been taken and ministers have found out what the people in their areas want to hear. They've agreed to a price! They've fashioned their message to cater to the flesh to fill their buildings that have people who are empty and void of the Holy Spirit!
When the Holy Spirit is come He will guide you into all truth!
He will guide you into a relationship with Jesus Christ!
He will guide you into the truth of God's word!
He will guide you into life of prayer and consecration to the purposes of God!
He will guide you into a life of walking in repentance!
The truth is , that man is a sinner and has to repent! Jesus came preaching this message and it must not be lost in order to gain a statistic!
If we will preach the right message with the love of Christ, darkness will be expelled!
Think about when you really understood what it means to repent and you responded. Do you remember? Darkness flees every time a sinner truly repents! The Lord adds to the Church daily such as should be saved!
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"
