The Light, Lamb and Life!
When I read the book of John, it appears the chosen disciples actually knew the identity of Jesus. In their conversations to one another and Jesus, they address him as Jesus of Nazareth, but also Rabbi, King of Israel and the Son of God. Later Peter would answer: "You are the Christ. The Son of the living God."
I'm sure they didn't comprehend many of His teachings, His death, to name a few.
We then ask "Why did they act the way they acted, if they knew who He was?" You and I say we know Him and have received Him. Why do we act the way we act?
Thank God He is the Word (Logos) ; the mediator, God Himself and Grace and Truth!
Please read; John 1

The Scariest Roller Coaster!
Giving in to the lure of Sin will result in roller coaster ride of days/weeks, maybe months to years of dizziness, confusion and disorientation. Satan is usually the one wearing the sleeveless t-shirt, taking tickets.
Many stand in long lines waiting to ride this emotion filled adventure of twist and turns, only to scream to be let off. What looked exciting, ended with a humbling, bent over, session of vomiting, vowing never to do that again. Many even return to the vomit.
The thief comes, but to steal, kill, and destroy. What about that don't we understand? The Bible is full of warnings through stories, principles and commands only for His glory and our own good!
Paul writes in Thessalonians that he earlier had told them how to walk and please God, that God's will is sanctification. It is not surprising that Holy living would please a Holy God.
That's why we must spend time with God. We believers are to have a loving relationship with Him. We unable to live this life in our own strength. Paul says in another place to; "Be strong in the Lord...in the power of His might!" Knowing He offers a way of escape. While we acknowledge Him, He will direct our path.
There have been fatal results of a roller coaster ride, (mental, physical and spiritual). Christian, have fun, think out of the box but keep both feet on the ground, rooted in His word, empowered by His spirit and compelled by His love! Life is weird enough. Seek His stability over the roller coaster ride of emotional twists, highs and very lows.
