TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 9TH APRIL 2025 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional April 9, 2025, Wednesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Light of the World
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven
churches. – Revelation 1:20
RECOMMENDED READING
Matthew 5:14-16
The first few verses of the Gospel of John mirror the beginning of Genesis 1-the entrance of light into a dark world (Genesis 1:3; John 1:4-5). Jesus identified Himself as the Light of the World (John 8:12) but only while He was in the world (John 9:5). Preparing His followers, Jesus said that they would be the light of the world in His absence (Matthew 5:14-16).
This was reaffirmed in the vision John saw on the isle of Patmos. Part of that vision was Christ standing in the midst of seven lampstands-sources of light (Revelation 1:12-13). In His words to John, Christ identified the lampstands as seven churches in Asia Minor, representing all the churches that were and that were to come. The implication of picturing the Church as a lampstand is obvious: The Church is to be the light of the world until Christ returns.
Reflect Christ’s light today by saying a kind word to a stranger or meeting the need of a neighbor.
TURNING POINT
The light of a holy example is the gospel’s main argument.
