[Wednesday's Devotional] - Jesus the Light of the World

Jesus the Light of the World In ancient Israel different brands of olive oil were manufactured by crashing olives three times using a stone press.     Here our guide explains that the first round of olive crushing produces anointing oil.  The residue is crushed for a second time to produce cooking oil and then the third crushing produces oil for lighting lamps in the house and the temple.   This was symbolic of Jesus journey to the cross i.e. His anointing with expensive perfume by a "sinful" woman, His crucifixion on the cross and finally Jesus is the Light of the world.    Farai Mutsambiwa    Twitter Website Copyright © 2016 St. Matthew & St. Oswald's Church, All rights reserved.
