'The Light of the World'
Even though darkness of sin, broken relationships, walking away from God the source of our very lives, God has not given up on us. While we muddle about in the darkness of our lives, fumbling, hurting ourselves and others, God has come after us in the form of Jesus. Jesus coming is like a light switch that is turned on. All of a sudden, we can see the world around us, we can get a true vision of our location and our destination. The light of Christ helps us see the world as it truly is. C.S. Lewis wrote, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else”.
Enter the story of the life of Jesus. He is the only one who can pierce the darkness of your doubts, frustrations, and troubles. Today is a day of hope. Jesus will never abandon you. He has already proven that. He is always, always, coming to you. The Light of the World is the hope of all mankind, not in a general way, but in a personal way. Jesus, the Creator of the universe is the light of your very life.
May the light of Christ shine brightly in your life and family today.
