“The Light of Life”
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’
Have you
ever had your power go off at night, and you get up and try to walk around your
house, trying to find some light? And
you STUMBLE around, running into things and you grope in the darkness, tripping
over things, and struggling to find some source of LIGHT. You may be able to find a candle, but then
you have to STRUGGLE to find the MATCHES to LIGHT the candle, you might find a
flashlight, but then the batteries in the flashlight may be DEAD, and you have
to STRUGGLE to find some batteries. This
may lead you to living a short period of time in DARKNESS. This seems to be a good example of the life of
an UNBELIEVER, who is LIVING in the DARKNESS of their SINFUL LIFE, and they
seem very comfortable in that situation.
Jesus told
His Disciples, “Whoever walks in the DARK does NOT know where they are
going. So, BELIEVE in the LIGHT while
you have the LIGHT, so that you may become CHILDREN of LIGHT.” (John 12:35b-36) In other words, those who are LIVING in
DISOBEDIENCE to GOD, are those who are LIVING in the DARKNESS of their SINS,
and they cannot SEE where they are headed. So as BELIEVERS of the LIGHT, the
LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is the LIGHT of the WORLD, we SHOULD be VIGILANT and STEADFAST
in LIVING in the LIGHT, so that we might
become CHILDREN of the LIGHT.
The verdict
is: The LIGHT has come into the world,
but people who live in the DARKNESS, LOVES the DARKNESS, because their deeds or
actions are EVIL. Those who live in
DARKNESS, HATES the LIGHT, because they FEAR that their EVIL DEEDS will be
EXPOSED. But for those who LIVE in the
LIGHT, and by the TRUTH, they will come into the LIGHT, so that their GOOD
DEEDS and OBEDIENCE to the ALMIGHTY GOD, may be PLAINLY SEEN. Are you living in the DARKNESS?
JESUS is the LIGHT of the WORLD, if you will
come to Him, you will be in the LIGHT, and if you choose to FOLLOW Him, you will
NEVER WALK in DARKNESS, but you will have the LIGHT of LIFE, and will be able
to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and you will be able to ESCAPE
HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE after you are there. This is
what you MUST DO to be able to WALK or LIVE in the LIGHT: You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your
sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask
Him for His FORGIVENESS. And BELIEVE,
with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven,
making intercession for you, before God.
You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST as your
LIGHT of LIFE, and you will NEVER WALK in DARKNESS again. So, do this NOW, while you still can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
