“Jesus once again addressed them: ‘I am the world's Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.’" (John 8:12 MSG)
Every year, a nearby farmer sets up a ‘haunted’ corn maze for Halloween. As you attempt to find your way out of this dark and disorienting maze, scary things keep popping up. Even after you have gone through several sections, it is still creepy. You’re never sure how long it will take before you get through. I’m sure the whole experience would be much less intimidating if the guy who designed the maze went ahead carrying a bright flashlight.
Experience can increase understanding, but not always. For example, two people can go through similar circumstances and come out with different levels of growth and insights. Thrill seekers prefer to figure out their own way, even if it involves stumbling through the dark. God designed every aspect of our lives. He knows every turn. Jesus is the light that guides us down the right path. His revelations uncover mysteries that are beyond normal human capacity to comprehend. Those who follow Him are imbued with divine intuition and wisdom.
Jesus, You provide plenty of light to live in. Grant us insight and understanding as we walk with You through the intricacies of life.
