Who Is The Light Of Your Life?

By Leave a Comment

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

Jesus of Nazareth is the light of the world, and one of God’s promises is that anyone who follows Jesus will not walk in darkness, but we will have the light of life.

Do you desire the light of life? If darkness surrounds you, then may you be encouraged to turn to Jesus of Nazareth. Let Him shine for you, deliver you, set you free, and establish you in His kingdom. In His light, you will see light, and you will recognize Him as the fountain of life (Psalm 36:9).

Please take time the next few moments to soak in His presence, so that you can refresh your soul. As you continue to follow Him, may He show you the fullness of His joy, the ease of His comfort, and His enduring strength that will carry you through to the very end. Amen.

Drawn To The Light

Some photographers are able to capture the essence of light shining through the darkness. Light appeals to our sense of well-being, as it gives us glimpses of hope for the future. It speaks of life not death, peace not turmoil, and love not fear, breaking into whatever seeks to distract us.

Everyone one of us can be drawn into God’s light through faith in Jesus of Nazareth, because He is the true light, and as we follow Him, He promises to set our path straight. For His Word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path. (Psalm 119:105)

God call us out of the kingdom of darkness, and into His wonder light, for His light exists so that others might see our good works, and glorify our Father in Heaven.

Have you made fellowship with the Light?

The light of God exists as a Person, made manifest in the flesh, namely through Jesus of Nazareth Himself. He is the absolute, definitive Light of the world, and by Him all things are seen. That’s why nothing in the time ahead will remain hidden, for nothing will be able to block His return.

We are made in God’s image in order to enjoy complete fellowship with the Light. Why not embrace the Light of God through acknowledging your sin, and accepting God’s forgiveness, so that you can change your direction, and be found in Him?

When the Light of God convicts us, then He offers us life, instead of death, freedom instead of bondage, and forgiveness instead of condemnation.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

May you help us to recognize your light, so that we can embrace your freedom. Your freedom delivers us from condemnation, gives us the opportunity to receive your life, and to walk freely as a child of God. Amen.

The One True Light

Lord Jesus, thank you for revealing yourself to us as the Light of the world. Your light has brought us out of the darkness and into your kingdom filled with grace and truth. What a wonderful thing it is to be lost, but now found, to be blind, but now see. May your light within us shine brightly for all to see. Amen.

Walking In His Presence

By 1 Comment

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)

In John 8, we find Jesus being confronted by the Pharisees, who neither believed in Him nor in His own authority. They judged Him by human standards, and their hearts of stone kept them from being changed by His glory. By refusing to accept Him, they kept themselves and those around them, blind to the revelation of the light of God’s presence in their midst.

Today, may we enjoy fellowship with God, and with one another, by walking in the light of His presence. As we walk in His light, we can rest assured that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. In confessing our sins we can know that God is faithful to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Forgive us, and our previous generations, for not walking in the light of your presence through faith in your Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Bring us out of the kingdom of darkness, and help us to be found in the kingdom of your beloved Son. May your Holy Spirit bring us His conviction, for His conviction brings life and He convinces us of our need for Jesus. Thank you for bringing Jesus into our lives. He has set us free from all condemnation, so that we can be found resting, remaining, and delighting in Him all the days of our lives. Amen.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

You are the light of the world, and you live within every believer. Your light shines within us, and we are called to shine this light, even to those who walk in darkness. As your followers, may we never walk in darkness, because only you have the light of life. This light is never to be hidden, but to be placed on high so that everyone can see it.

You have called us out of darkness, and into your wonderful light. Help us to walk in the light, as you are in the light, to enjoy fellowship with one another, knowing that your blood cleanses us from all sin. You are our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear? You are forever the stronghold of our lives, and we never have to be afraid.

Thank you for every good and perfect gift that we receive from the Father of lights. May your Word continue to be the lamp for our feet, and the light for our path. Help us to keep our eyes pure, for they are the lamps of our bodies, If our eyes are healthy, then our whole body is full of light. To you be the glory, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Let Your Light Shine!

Let the light of Christ shine within you, and through you, for all the world to see. Don’t hide it, nor be embarrassed by it. Your perfection is found in His righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. He has redeemed you from the life of the pit, and transferred you from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His beloved Son.

This is all the more reason to shine for Jesus!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

May every believer in Jesus Christ let their light shine in such a way, so that others may see their good works, and glorify you in Heaven. You have made us worthy, because you sent Jesus to die for us; there is nothing in ourselves that deserves your salvation, it is simply a gift by your grace through faith in Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory forever, and ever, Amen.
