The Light


Imagine a dark room. A baby entered the dark room with a candle.The darkness slowly started disappearing as the candle started glowing more and more brightly. The darkness had no power in front of the light. Imagine a person staying in the dark room with his eyes closed. The person was in darkness since birth. No light was seen till now. As the room gets brighter, and as the person sees the light, the eyes will not tolerate the brightness. As a natural response, the eyes are closed being unable to tolerate the light. Gradually, the eyes will open as the person realizes the difference. The person will see what is in the room. He will realize his own presence and the presence of other people who might have been staying at the other corners of the room in the dark. He also realizes that whatever he does is seen to others at this point.

"I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Mat 5: 17


Christ fulfills all the prophecies foretold about Him. He was the most obedient servant of the Father. He fulfills all the plans of Father. Thus Christ is the fulfillment of Law.

God after creating Adam hoped that he will obey the commands, but the adversary, the snake, tempted the women and made both sin. Sin came in to the world and thus man became distant from God. Man was scared and was ashamed to come in front of God, because they realized that they were naked. They became afraid of God. They moved away from Lord.
