Walking in the light

Have we ever experienced walking in complete darkness? I could imagine how hard it was. Walking in darkness often make us stumble even though the route that we are following is the one that is familiar to us. Sometimes we need to crawl instead of walking on two feet. We are most of the time guessing on what lies in front of us or in great doubt on which way to go.

In John 8:12 Jesus described himself as the ‘light for the world’. Why the world needs light? Because the world is blanketed with darkness. People of the world are walking without direction. People of the world are in dark of what is ahead of them. That is the reason why there are doubts in our life. We cannot see for we are living in a dark.

Jesus is the light that came from heaven. He will be the light not only to guide us in darkness but also to make the darkness disappear! In Him there is no dark because darkness cannot stand the brightness of this light. In Him everything is exposed. Nothing will remain hidden but shown because the light have won against darkness. But the world rejects the light so therefore remains in darkness.

The light is for everyone. We need that light to be able to overcome the darkness in our life. With that light we may see which way to go. We may see what lies ahead of us and how to avoid it. The light will make everything visible. It will helps us to see good and bad things in life. But this is the reason why people reject the light for it will show the bad things that they do. Besides making our bad behavior visible, the light will also show us ways to overcome our bad behavior. It will guide us through the path to salvation.

So how could we receive the light?.We must have Jesus in our life and continue to follow Him all the time. Every day, we should obey him and we should learn from him. As long as we are in the light, darkness have no power against us. The light will shine on us....
