Jesus is The Light || Victory Church [Who is Jesus? #2]

John 1 verses 4 and 5 in him was life and that life was the light of all mankind The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Who is Jesus? When I was younger my life was so chaotic like my parents used to fight all the time and that's like all I saw growing up and We had a lot of sickness in my family. So After a period when my parents were fighting and arguing all the time and like it got a little violent, you know My dad he didn't put his hands on us, but he would throw things around right? But after that period my brother got sick and he had cancer so I think during that time my initial reaction and the only thing that kind of got me through day to day was I need to Keep going so that I don't become a burden to my family So I think in that I just felt like I was going about my day and I suppressed so much of my emotion and my Feelings that I didn't know how to respond when people were like, how are you? Really? I just be like, I'm good Obviously like I wasn't good. Yeah, I don't think I ever felt like I Had a family I could rely on I could lean on or even like Just feel comforted by I think when Jesus came into the picture It just clicked for me that he wasn't just like a God that was kind of like hovering over me and like just watching me From afar, but he was really with me in those moments all the moments I felt lonely all the moments where I felt like I didn't have anyone It just fully registered to me that he was with me in those moments when no one else was Or I didn't feel like anyone else was you know, so I think that shift Completely changed my world and my understanding of love Like changed drastically and like I realized his love for me was so Unconditional and so different than like what my human understanding could be and since then like I think I found so much Hope in life that I didn't have because of Jesus. I have a family I'm gonna cry. I think that struck a chord for me because if I look at the life I have now it looks so different than what I thought it'd be before Family, that's like not blood, you know, like community my friends my co-workers that are here. Um, I got married I got married this year, right and It's an amazing person and all the girlfriends that I've made over the years I really thought it wasn't possible and like even like my husband like I genuinely didn't think I'd find a guy like as

Good as him. Like I thought I was bound to like bad things forever I think when Jesus came into my life like he He brought in so many blessings that were so unexpected and like answer so many prayers Who is Jesus? To me The biggest person Jesus is in my life is a father. I think the greatest turning point in my life And what brought Jesus into my life was to understand that my heavenly father was there for me Even more than my earthly father could ever be there for me And I know my dad Loved me. Like I'm not saying that he never loved me or anything where he wasn't good to me I know he adored me, but there I Think there's so many ways that God as a heavenly father has filled in those gaps where I needed the most And filled in those areas and cracks in my heart where like it really was broken and he like smoothed it over for me And Like he's a father to me because I feel so like protected by him Think in every step I take in life right now and like the past couple of years I feel like he's guided me. Jesus brings that hope into my life where I can keep going But there is something greater that there is something That he has in store for me for my life And that I would never have if it wasn't for him and I think that hope Is something that I cling on to when things get hard Thanks for being a part of Victory Church on the Pando app We hope this content was a blessing to you But we want you to know that you're not done yet because we want to hear from you So send us a letter and tell us things like what God is doing in your life How we can pray for you or even content that you would like to see us create in the future We just want you to know that we see you You're important to us and we'd love to continue to create some things in the future that will bless you So send us a letter and we hope to hear from you soon
