THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
These days power is been on and off where we stay...dark nights most of the times and I have been experiencing hard time figuring out and putting together most of the things without proper lighting or no light at all. Having no light is the hardest time for me...its frustrating and unpleasant, I literary struggled to put together a meal for my husband and I as it took longer than necessary for me to put things together and as I sat to have my meal, my mind was thinking of many things and somehow it settled on thinking about people that do not know Christ, and I thanked Christ for the light.... John 8:12 says "... I am the light of the world.The person of follows me will never live in darkness..." I became very happy about the light( Christ) that I don't need to grope in the dark yet at the same time my heart crushed for these people who are still in the dark...in self condemnation... In hatred...in strife... Jealous and the like. I thought of Gen 1:1-3 ...then God said,"Let there be light!" And it brought so much understanding of light than I understood it before. Light is everything I need for me to properly do what I need to do...Jesus at the center providing us with this undying light is a such a privilege which is available to everyone that perceives and accepts it to be part of their lives.
Jesus being the light is also life ( John 1:4) verse 4 reads; In him there was LIfe. That life was light for the people of the world. In another verse he says he is the way, the truth and the life. Where there is light, there is life and truth and this light lights the way. I just love the fact that I know this truth and that there is light shining towards my way and that I can never stumble when am with him and that I have life through this wonderful light that has shone and lit my path and that there is no more darkness...strife, hatred, am Free from all that because my way is clearer than ever. Am in him and he is in me and I can move without any hardship. That is the light of the world. Receive it and you shall fall no more. The light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overpowered the light; there is so much power in having this light. It can never be overpowered... Not by anyone or anything. It is powerful walking in the light and am proud to be one of the people walking in this light as the righteousness of the lord and I would love so badly for everyone around me to experience this beautiful thing...the light of the world.
