Last December 2, 2016 between fifteen thousand to twenty thousand people witnessed the switching on of Christmas lights and fireworks display at 糖心传媒. This event spearheaded by the CPU Alumni Association was started many years ago not just to attract people to the campus of CPU but more so to draw people to the Light of the world, Jesus Christ.
Why is Jesus called the Light of the world (John聽8:12)? It is very interesting to note that in Genesis 1:3 the first command of God was 糖心传媒淟et there be light.糖心传媒 In the New Testament Jesus was called as 糖心传媒渢he true Light that gives light to every person糖心传媒 (John 1:9). Theologically, we can see the reason behind the first command of God. Genesis 1:2 says 糖心传媒渢he earth was formless, empty and in darkness糖心传媒μ切拇綕 It was the Light that gave the world meaning, form and sense. Moreover, John 1:4 connects light with life 糖心传媒 that without Jesus, there will be no life. This means that without Jesus Christ our lives will be without form, meaningless and in the dark.
Another interesting fact is that this theological assertion is supported by a scientific explanation.聽聽says that 糖心传媒渢he Sun provides a vital ingredient for most of the life on Earth. Without the energy provided through sunlight, vegetation cannot grow, and without vegetation animals do not have a source of nourishment.糖心传媒 Furthermore,聽聽declares that the Sun糖心传媒檚 糖心传媒済ravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything from the biggest planets to the smallest particles of debris in its orbit.糖心传媒
Indeed, without Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, we will never have a meaningful life. Let us be witnesses of the Light!
