God's Glory Church

Have you ever stumbled in a dark room or tried to walk at night when there was no light? You may have bumped into a wall or kicked something. Do you remember how great it was to turn on the lights so you could see where you were going?

God’s word says that we also walk in darkness. Our life without Jesus is characterized by just that – darkness. When we try to live life on our own, we inevitably fail and create problems.

Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness of the surrounding world and in our own lives. He illuminates the truth of the world so that we do not remain prisoners of our old ways, but can be transformed by Jesus through forgiveness.

Without His light that shines in the darkness, we would not recognize the truth.

Jesus is also the One who directs our paths. Just as we stumble in darkness without physical light, Jesus is the light that illuminates our path in life.

John 1:5 also tells us that the light of Jesus cannot be defeated. There are no spiritual forces or cultural events that can surpass the light of Jesus. And there is nothing anyone can do to separate us from God’s love and light.

No matter how bleak our circumstances may seem, we are called to walk in the light of Jesus. The physical world illuminates the world around us, but the light of Christ illuminates beauty in everything.

Spend some time in prayer today, thanking Jesus for the salvation you have and asking Him to continue to illuminate your path in life. Then let the light of Jesus shine through you, through your love for the people around you.
