Good morning. We read this about Jesus, the light of the world:
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:4-5
We praise God for the light of His love. We praise God for the light that shines upon our path. We praise God for the light that defeats the darkness. We praise God for the light that lives in every Christian heart. We praise God for His light, our Jesus.
Jesus had this to say about light, and about us:
“You are the light that shines for the world to see. You are like a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden. People don’t hide a lamp under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand. Then the light shines for everyone in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
Yes, Jesus is the light of the world. But we must remember that today we are the light of Jesus that our world will see.
In a world that seems to be spiraling down into increasing darkness, the light of Jesus Christ is all the more essential. We need to see and to share the light who is Jesus Christ. The world around us is lost in increasing darkness and desperately needs to see His light.
They will see that light, or they will not see it, depending on us, the people of the Lord.
Let your light shine brightly today. Let the light of Jesus Christ within you be that light which is brilliantly seen.
