A Lamb for a House - The Light of the New Day

A Lamb for a House III – Light of the New Day

 

When Israel departed Egypt heading to the promise land, they went out the blood-stained door in the light of a new day.  For 430 years they had been kept in Egyptian bondage.  This day was a new day for them.  In regarding this day, natural daylight had not changed.  Natural light had not changed but everything around the day had changed.  The perception of their reality was new.  No longer were they under the rule of Pharoah, but they had come out of Egypt to be under the rule of God, through the leadership of Moses, to be a people unto God in the earth.

 

This is the reality in which believers must come to in Christ.  When we enter the Door, who is Christ and partake of the true Passover lamb our day immediately changes.  Like the Israelites the natural day did not change but the Day we walk in changes.  No longer are we under the rule of Sin and shame, but we have come out to the Light of Christ.  We are to walk in the understanding as it is in Christ Jesus.  No longer in the understanding as it is in the Old Man. 

 

When the woman caught in adultery was brought before Jesus her accusers set her forth in accusation of the Old Covenant law.  Jesus stated that he that is without sin should cast the first stone when He was questioned what should be done with the woman.  The only one in the midst without sin was Jesus Himself.  All had become guilty before God in His presence.  Jesus stooped, wrote on the ground twice, and told the woman to go in sin no more. 

 

The hand of God touched the earth, which we see in Jesus Christ being made a man.  The empowerment to overcome sin is Christ Himself, and not our own abilities.  God writes His Living Word, who is Christ, in our hearts.  Paul declares the church to be the epistle of Christ written of God to be read of men.  The Light of the New Day is how we understand the Word of God that has been written in our hearts.  We do not understand this Word by the natural understanding, but by the Spirit of God.

 

At the completion of the encounter of Jesus with the woman caught in adultery, Jesus makes the statement, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).  This is light, whereby we can see and not walk in darkness.  Through His light we see the power to overcome sin and death.  Through His work on the cross they have already been overcome.  This blood-stained Door we entered, brought us out in the power of His victory, and the Newness of His Life.

 

The prophet Isaiah prophesied of a Day where the sun would not be the light.  Christ, Himself, is that day you will find being declared in the prophets.  He is the Day star rising in our hearts to give the Light, understanding, of the New Day.  He is the Day that when we see it approaching, we gather together in the knowledge of Him.  We understand we are His, bought with a price, to be filled with the nature of God.  Like Israel of old we come out from under the rule of bondage to be under the rule of God.  We see the glorious freedom we have from sin, shame, and death, and the New Life to be grasped in Christ. 

 

So many hearts are looking for a physical day to appear where there is righteousness, peace, and joy.  This Day is seen NOW as we see by the light of the knowledge of Christ, who is the glory of God.  This light is in us, even as many believer sings, “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine”  I believe we should change the words to the song, “This great light of mine, I’m going to let Him shine.  Shine in the brightness of the glorious New Day. I’m going to let Him Shine.   Let Him Shine, Let Him Shine, Let Him Shine!”  Glory to God!
