"He ... Came To Bear Witness To The Light ... " (John 1:8-13).

The purpose of the preacher is not to exalt himself. It is to preach Christ - "He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light" (John 1:8). Jesus Christ is described as "the true light that enlightens every man" (John 1:9). From the very beginning, He has been calling men and women to come to the light. This ministry of bringing men and women to the light has become much more clearly defined with the coming of Jesus into the world as a Man. He now stands before men and women, presenting them with a choice: Will you choose light or do you prefer to remain in the darkness? If you have come to Christ and are seeking to be an effective witness for Him, ask Him to lead you to those who have become aware of God the Creator and are now ready to be brought to Christ the Saviour. Pray that God will give you the opportunity to bring others to hear the Gospel that they might find the Saviour.
