Walking in The Light of Christ

John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

When Jesus says “I Am the light”, He is declaring His Divine Identity. He is the way, He is the truth, He is the life! No one will come to the Father except through Him!

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

This is where it all happens right here.

Once we have put our faith in Him as our Redeemer and Savior, His light lives in us as we will follow Him.

Part of this is turning away from the wicked, evil things this world offers, and seeking God for His plan in our lives.

Our desires will be to follow Him and the life He has for us; no more messing with darkness.

We won’t be perfect, and we may stumble at times, making the wrong choices. But if we really want to learn, we will! And His light will become strong in us.

We don’t keep this Light suppressed and to ourselves. We need to share it with others through our daily walk.

Matthew 5:14 (NKJV) 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Shine bright right where you are today!

Amen.

John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

We may be living out our day-to-day life right now, never giving a thought to the fact that our life is finite.

But the day will come when we take our last breath. And in that moment, our spirit will either live on with Jesus, the true Light, or live on in hell, eternally separated from God.

There are only two places to go after this earthly life has ended.

This is fully dependent on the choice we make; we follow Christ or continue to live a life in darkness. It’s up to each individual.

John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Anyone without Christ is walking in darkness.

If we don’t want to walk in darkness any longer, we must put our faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, allowing Him to teach us His ways.

As we follow Him and obey His word, we can be sure we will have the Light of life living and moving through us each day, and eternal life after we pass from this life!

Amen.
