I Am The Light Of The World

I Am
The Light
Of The World

This year I put the lights on our Christmas tree! Putting the lights on the Christmas tree is usually Kathy’s project. And I sometimes help keep the strand of lights untangled as she places the lights just like she wants them. But not this year! Have you ever seen the movie, “Christmas Vacation” when Sparky (also called Clark) puts up all the lights and the entire city goes dark when he finally gets them to work? I am Sparky at the Williams’ house when it comes to our Christmas tree!

Scripture

John 8

12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Observation

This year I put the lights on our Christmas tree! Putting the lights on the Christmas tree is usually Kathy’s project. And I sometimes help keep the strand of lights untangled as she places the lights just like she wants them. But not this year!

Have you ever seen the movie, “Christmas Vacation” when Sparky (also called Clark) puts up all the lights and the entire city goes dark when he finally gets them to work? I am Sparky at the Williams’ house when it comes to our Christmas tree!

Jesus is the light of the World! All the lights we see at Christmas in our country are a reminding of that Light!

When we served as missionaries to the country of Morocco it was sad to go through the streets of the major cities during the Christmas Season! There was only darkness! The darkness could be felt!

My blinding (no kidding) Christmas tree is a great reminder every morning when I turn it on - of the True Light of the World – Jesus Christ!

Follow that Light today! Get out of the darkness!


Application

Every time I turn on my Christmas tree I will think of the True Light of this world! How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the Light. In You there is no darkness. Help me to walk in the Light. Help me to be a light to those around me. I pray for those who have not yet stepped out of the darkness and into Your Light. I pray that You would draw them closer and closer to You. Give them the boldness and the courage to give their lives to You.
