My Light

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

I recently had the privilege of meeting another Jewish person while in New York. I am told that in the Manhattan area there is a 20% Jewish population. This man that I meet was there on business and visiting family while in the area. As I sought to get to know him he explained that his Hebrew name meant “My Light” just like the light mentioned in the book of beginnings – Genesis.

What a great Hebrew name that reminds us of that great day of creation and of God’s great power in creating this world out of nothing.

What is a light? While we are in the light it is normally a place of safety. Is it not the light of the fire that keeps away the wild animals of the night? This light will illuminate the way for us. The light of the lighthouse warns us to stay away from the rocks of danger. The light will also expose things that have happened in the night. In the morning we can see what the winds of destruction have caused during the darkness. The light is something we come to trust in.

Who or What is the LIGHT in your life? Who or what have you put your trust in?

I am glad that I have put my trust and faith in the Light of the world called Jesus Christ. He is the One who was promised back in Isaiah 60:1-3.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Do you want to walk in darkness? If your answer is NO then we must follow the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world. He will be our:

Many refuse to come to Jesus Christ as Saviour. They are afraid to have their sins exposed to His light.

Is your life full of sins that we have committed in the darkness of evil?

Young Christian continue to follow Christ so that you may continue in the light. Do not stray into the darkness of sin where there is harm and destruction.
