"I am the light of the world"- Jesus. The more you are in the light, the more you will be aware of the darkness that surrounds you. Light exposes darkness. Good exposes evil. Be consumed by the light. Stand in the light. Jesus said that He is the light of the world. He also said that we are the light of the world. We don't have to go any farther than ourselves to find that light. When I am in the dark, I am blind. I can't see. God said in Genesis "Let there be light and there was light."
Darkness had covered the surface of the deep. The earth was empty and formless. God separated light from darkness. When light is introduced, the darkness fades. If darkness remains, there is no life. It's as simple as that. What do we do to dispel darkness? What did God do? What did Jesus do? He spoke!
"I am" the light of the world. Now He still speaks! Through us. We are the light of the world. Even a little light can show us the way. Speak every day, "let there be light. I am the light of the world." If we don't bring light into the world, how can we blame others for choosing darkness? When it's all they have to refer to. If you live in darkness long enough, how do you know what the word "light" even means? There is no frame of reference until you experience light.
Knowing who you are may be painful: Luke 8:16 2 Samuel 22:29 Psalm 18:28, 27:1, 36:9, 76:4, 89:15, 119:105; Matthew 5:14-16; Matthew 6:22-23
Praise God for the Light of the world. He has not only given light, He is the light. He reveals to us what this world is supposed to be again. When He comes again, Light, Love, Joy, Peace, Faithfulness, Goodness. We are the runners, the foretaste of glory. Live in the light, as He is in the light!
What hope He is! Faith, hope, love, and the greatest of these is love. God is love. Pray for our enemies. Live in the light you have. "Fear not. I will go before you and in you. You are not alone." Psalm 73:26
In His Love, a work in progress
