“Jesus said, "For a brief time still, the light is among you. Walk by the light you have so darkness doesn't destroy you. If you walk in darkness, you don't know where you're going. As you have the light, believe in the light. Then the light will be within you, and shining through your lives. You'll be children of light." (John 12:35-36 MSG)
Summer days are long and full of sunlight. The light makes plants grow--which, in turn, feed animals and humans--causing us to grow. Light affects our physical and mental health. It allows us to see where we are going and what we are doing. Yet, many people choose to live in darkness. They don’t want to face their flaws. Darkness allows them to pretend that evil is acceptable. Bright light reveals truth, and this can be uncomfortable for some.
Apart from Christ, darkness overtakes us. We get lost in a meaningless existence of pleasure seeking. Whether we realize it or not, our lives become pointless. With Christ, we are suffused in light. We are able to see Truth and walk confidently toward it. The light that is within us shines through us. We become expressions of His light.
Be in the light of Jesus.
Think in the light of Jesus.
Speak in the light of Jesus.
Live in the light of Jesus.
