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.” (John 8:12)

Jesus Christ is the everlasting light that illuminates the darkness that shrouds an evil world. Sadly, people who live an unrepentant sinful lifestyle resist the light of life, choosing instead to walk under the cover of darkness that obscures their ungodliness. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19)

Until the rapture of the church, when believers will be caught up in the air and taken out of this troubled world to be with Jesus forever, we have been called to reflect His light into the worldly darkness. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” (Matthew 5:14-15) Light your candle and go shine for Christ!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:15)
