<TITLE>04. Par 28-37</TITLE>L-28 And what if He had said, "Let there be light," and there was no light? Then it wasn't God spoke. When God says, "Let there be," there will be. And so we find out that the sun that we now are enjoying is the manifestation of God's Word spoken in Genesis.

L-29 And we realize that God's Light of the day is His Son. The one was s-u-n; this one is S-o-n. S-o-n is the Bible. He was... "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Hebrews 13:8, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." It's the Word of God, always. It was Christ in Noah. It was Christ in Moses. It was Christ in David that looked up, as a rejected king, upon the city; where, eight hundred years later, Christ set there weeping over a city, being a rejected King, just like David was. It's always the Spirit of Christ. And the full manifestation of God's Word was made known through Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God.

L-30   No life can come outside of light. Light produces; light produces life. There can be no life--life outside of light, natural or spiritual. There must be.

L-31 And only Light can come by the Word of God. God's Word is the Light when It's manifested. It's just a Seed laying here, as God planted all the seeds.

L-32 Our bodies was on the earth before the... well, well, before there was any light here, any life here, or anything; the calcium, potash, petroleum, and cosmic light, whatever, it was here--was here when God created the earth. It only taken His spoken Word to bring it into existence, just like it did botany life, or tree life, what, or whatever life there is to be.

L-33   Nothing can live, natural or spiritual, without His Light, and His Word is Light and Life.

L-34 But when He sends His Light and makes It known to the people, and then It is rejected, then what about that? That's what we want to talk about this morning, is: rejecting this Light, by them It's sent to, rejects just like it was then. "Behold My servant, Whom I have delighted in." He's the Light to the Gentiles. He's the Light to the world. He was the Light of the world, but He was rejected. That's the sad part.

L-35 And it meets that condition every time that God manifests His Light, the world itself rejects that light. Why? It's written right in the Bible. Each age, God has lotted so much of His Word for each age, and He always sends somebody to manifest that Word.

L-36   Jesus had been prophesied for four thousand years, that He would come, Messiah. And when He come, He manifested every promise of Messiah. But yet the people of the world, the churches, and so forth, knowed nothing about Him, so, 'cause they had done got in some other thing that kept them away from knowing This. Now what if a--a man just...

L-37 We'll take the natural part. What if a man, that is born here to walk in the light of that sun, what God has created for him, and, the first thing you know, he shuts his eyes, runs into the basement, closes the door, pulls down the shade, and just refuses to recognize the sun is a shining? He denies its privileges. He denies its warming rays, its life-giving resource. He denies the light that it spreads so he can see where he is going, where he come from. He denies that. What would you say to a man that pulled down the shades, or run into the basement and closed all the light off, everywhere, and just simply refused to recognize the sun was shining? There is something mentally wrong with that person. Anyone knows that. A natural mind will tell you there is something wrong with that person, that he is, he's--he's... Something has happened to him. He has lost his reasons.
