Light is not only a bright ray giving us the ability to clearly see everything around us, but light is warmth, comfort, and beauty. When you’re walking around the house, you need the light; working in the dark would be terribly unconvenient. Though one can function without sunlight, not one can live happily without the Light of the World. Hey, that reminds me of these two Bible verses:
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:4-5 (ESV)
[ I Am the Light of the World ] Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12 (ESV)
As we talked in Tenacious Faith’s last post “In the Dark,” many of us dwell in a dark room with no light. You may be there right now, dead and buried beneath shame and sin. We also pictured how Jesus makes us alive. Today, go back to that mental image, and imagine that, as Jesus comes into the room, He is glowing so brightly that your eyes cannot bear His glory, and then He touches you and makes you alive.
Dear Jeus, thank you for Your light that can shine upon and through us. Please help us to trust you and step into the light. We love you, Lord. It’s in your name we pray. Amen.
