The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. ~Isaiah 9:2

 

 

Light has so many good properties. At night, it dispels darkness, provides security on a dark paths, and it reveals what's ahead. When you're in the light, you can see the dusty cabinets and counters; it exposes every spec, the areas that need attention; that is what light does.   It provides warmth.

 

So when Jesus says that He is the light of the world in John 8:12, we understand that His presence in our lives dispels the darkness, provides security for our future, it exposes the things that do not belong, it brings clarity to our shortfalls and gives us a path to change them, it dispels the darkness around us and even those who live in it.

 

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ~John 8:12

• A Great Light (Christ) has dawned in our lives.
• No longer should we wander in the darkness lost because we have been found.

 

 

Light and Darkness do not exists in the same place, because light dispels darkness, so those who live in the light they have no part in the darkness, that is what Jesus is saying, He is the light of the world whoever follows Him will no longer walk in darkness, it is our proximity to the light of the world Jesus that rids our lives of the things that do not belong, provides a path to where we should be, clarity to see what we should.   We need Jesus, just like we need light.

 

 

Lord, I pray that we would draw closer to you in this season, that you would shine your light into the deepest areas of our lives that we would see our need for you in all the areas of our lives, that you would provide direction, protection, that you would dispel darkness that would seek to consume us, and that you would light our paths, direct our feet in Jesus' name, Amen!
