Jesus Christ told them plainly that, He is the Light of the World.

The world that God once created was pure and full of the glowing light from heaven. Adam and Eve had once been fully exposed to the light. They even felt the footstep of God and heard His voice. They were very intimately linked to God.

But when they decided to act like God and made their own decision independent of God's will, they fell. By this great spiritual historical fall, the Devil and his evil spirit were invited into the Garden of Paradise. There was great disorder and confusion in the Garden, so God had to separate humankind together with the devil, from the Kingdom of Heaven. Until today we still live apart from God separated by a veil. The only channel of communication is through the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

After the fall, darkness engulfed the whole world and God's creation, especially human being. Human hearts no longer submit to God and His will. Mankind therefore lived apart from God and His Light.

God was indeed very sad to see this happening and how the devil tried to spread its reign in the heart of mankind.

It was man's fault that mankind invited the devil into Paradise. He was therefore very proud and dares to put a challenge on God that there shall be no one who shall be able to bring about the salvation of humankind. God knew that too. So God said to Himself, "I will come down and dwell inside a man. Give that man the strength and power of God to defeat the forces of darkness', who was no other then the ancient serpent'.

Therefore the 'Incarnation' of God took place. Taking the flesh of a pure human being, that God had specially Anointed, by the power of His Spirit. Therefore this Jesus shall be a perfect human being, grew in the womb of Mary and later born of her. Inside the womb of Blessed Virgin Mary is the 'Light' and hope of the whole world. It was through this way that the Light of God once again claimed back the territory that was His. Jesus Christ as a human being would also be tested. Satan once again challenged God that this Son of His would also fall. After His baptism the devil put a very powerful and strong test and challenge on the human nature of Jesus. But the Divine Nature of Jesus continued to overpower Him and He triumph over the forces of darkness.

The forces of darkness tried to destroy the "Light' that is in Jesus. They tried to destroy God in Jesus Christ. Because all human being is given freewill so was Jesus. He can choose to obey or disobey God. But He had indeed made the wisest decision ever, for the salvation of mankind. He chose to obey and submit to God's will, until death, if this would save all of us.

As Jesus started to preach and heal, the Light of God, was like seed scattered by a farmer. The heart of mankind is like plot of land for the seeds to grow, mature and to bear fruits as expected. This plot of land can also be so infertile and rocky that the seed, after sprouting just die off. It can also be like a plot of land with good soil but thorns bushes had outgrown the seedlings and plants that they failed to bear fruit.

Just like the sun that shines its light onto the world. Those who decided to close the doors and windows would not be able to experience the brightness of the light

What about people of other religions who refused to recognize and believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Will they be saved too?

Jesus is indeed the Light of the world. The light of Christ is the source of all Light. The Light that was in Christ was the reflection of the Light that had its source in God alone.

The Light of God shone into the world through other enlightened people, called and anointed by God too. They were to be bearer of Light. But, they themselves were never the Light.

They were merely human being called for a specific mission to save mankind particularly of their own race, nationality, etc.

Human beings on earth, through sin had divided themselves. The division can be of race, nationality, creed, community and even family. By this division people tend to care only for their own kind and interest. God knew fully well their rift. God meant that division be healed and be united once more, but mankind had failed. Therefore the emergence of prophets, messengers and holy people came about so as to enlighten and save their own kind.

The light might have been transmitted by angels to the prophets, messenger, holy people, etc.

Human beings are with weaknesses, impurities and sins of their own. They received the light, but because their lives may still be in darkness, indeed had diluted the purity of the original light.

Yes! People who were lead by this 'light' still can find their way to the real light that is Jesus Christ. He is the gate to heaven. He is the gate-keeper. All people, even of other religion can still reach heaven. Jesus is the Way, Truth and the Life.

They claimed to worship God. But for us we know the Triune God. We know that Jesus Christ in His Divine Nature is God. We also know that the Human and Divine Nature existed in undivided bond of deep love, whereby the Human submitted to the Divine will of God. Even though they may be ignorant of God as The Blessed Trinity, but by worshipping God, they indeed worship Jesus, without knowledge. But by this ignorant they suffered, because the fruit of this mystery cannot be fully experienced by them. For them they believed God as what their prophets told them. The holy and unreachable God.

Jesus is the only Judge, Savior and Redeemer of the whole world.

The Old Covenant, whatsoever had to go and people had to accept the New Covenant, sealed with the Blood of Christ.

Mary and all saints intercede that all her children would be united with her. By this unity she can successfully offered them up to Jesus as Man, who is her son. From there, Jesus who unites us into His Mystical Body, which is His Glorified Human Body. In the Body of Christ there is a complete unity of God and Man. Jesus Human Nature and Divine Nature never separate but unity in a complete bond of love. In unity with Jesus Christ, two undivided natures, He offered Himself and all of us up to God the Father, through the working of the Holy Spirit.

People of other religion too had Holy people, messengers, prophets, etc whom they followed. They would intercede and gather their followers together and bring them before God. The Truth is no man was ever worthy to face the Almighty, Eternal and Holy God. His Light was too brilliant and bright. If we go near that bright light our eyes would be blind. So it is true concerning spiritual eyes. Our spiritual eyes no matter how good, can never be able to face God. We are unworthy. So we all go to heaven hiding in the Body of Christ, who had redeemed and purify us. We therefore see God through the eyes of Jesus. We hear God's voice through the ears of Jesus. We feel the love of God through our unity with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

Therefore people of other religion cannot reach God, The Almighty, no matter how holy and pure they were. They still had to go through Jesus Christ, whom, God had Anointed to duel and save mankind from their sin. Therefore people of other religions would only see and know who God is when they passed over to the next world.

They too had to gather their followers and themselves to be at the mercy of Jesus Christ. They too had to be judge, redeemed and purify by the Blood of Jesus Christ in the next world.

Christian had already experienced and enjoyed, the fruit from the victory of Christ by our faith in the Mystery of His death and resurrection.

Praise the Lord. Amen
