John 8:12 (NIV)
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I
am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Darkness is more than a symbol, it is a pervasive way of
living and viewing the world. Darkness is the place of deception, evil, crime,
predators, sin, and death. To follow Jesus means to bring him our heart and let
him cast from the darkness that plagues us on the inside so we don't have to be
afraid of the darkness on the outside. In this way, Jesus gives us light, but
it is a light that does more than fill a dark room with light. This is a light
that illumines the heart.
Thought for today:
Do I seek to be in the light?
