Jeremiah 5; Jeremiah 6; John 12
I Have Come As A Light To Shine In This Dark World,
So That All
Who Put Their Trust In Me Will No Longer Remain In The Dark.
Scripture
46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
Observation
This past week Kathy and I had a sleep over with 7 of our
9 grandkids! Our grandson Louie, who just turned 8 yesterday, cannot sleep in
the dark. Our granddaughter Tori, who is 7, cannot sleep with any lights on.
Guess who won out? If you guessed Louie then you were right! The night of the
sleep over they slept with a light on!
Darkness represents evil and light represents just the
opposite. We live in a very evil world that is full of darkness. Just read the
newspaper or stay up and watch the 11 pm news on television and you will be
reminded of just how much bad stuff is happening all around us.
Jesus came to this earth to provide a Way for us to
change our direction. He came to rescue us from the darkness all around us.
I like His word of encouragement to us that is found a
few chapters over in the same book of John.
Jesus says, “I have told you all this so that you may
have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take
heart, because I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Application
I will not be scared of the spiritual darkness that
surrounds me today because Jesus has overcome the world!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me to the Light.
Thank You for saving me from the world of darkness. I remember what it was like
to walk in the world of darkness and participate in all of the evil that goes
with walking in darkness. Thank You for my new life in Jesus. Thank You for
rescuing me from a life of sin and destruction. Thank You for giving me Eternal
Life.
