"The Light of Life"

 

“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!!!
