Bible Reading: John 1: 1 - 10
Topic: Jesus The Light Of The World
Light is essential to our
daily lives.
If we try to walk at night
in an unfamiliar environment without any source of light, we are likely to
encounter untold difficulties.
In today's reading, John
introduces Jesus both as Word and Light.
God created all things by
means of His Word (Ps. 33: 9; 148: 5)
Just as the Word manifests
Himself in nature and indeed all creation so also He ought to manifest in our
everyday lives.
John also calls Jesus the
Light of the men because He points humanity to God and reveals everything about
God: holiness, purity, righteousness e.t.c.
He makes clear the meaning
of life as well as how to live a purposeful life.
When Christ lives in us,
we also live in Him and we in a sense become the light of the world pointing
others to Christ.
When the Light of God
comes into our lives, darkness is expelled and we receive an enablement to
shine in this world of darkness (Lk. 8: 16)
As a child of God, you are
connected to the Light, this enables you to walk in the Light that means to
live righteously.
Insist today on walking in
the light and eliminating the darkness of sin and satanic activities
Prayer:
May Your Light so shine in
my life that the world around me may see You, Amen.
Memory verse: John 1: 10
"He was in the world,
and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not"
