John 8:12 - Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life”

LET’S TALK
In our opening scripture above, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world,” and that’s quite remarkable! He didn’t say, “I have a light for the world,” or “I know of a special light somewhere for the world.” He said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life”. Period. John described Him as “...the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world” (John 1:9). There are other lights in the world, but Jesus is the true light! As long as you’ve received Him into your heart and follow Him, you’ll never again walk in darkness. Why is that? It’s because the true light now shines from within you.

Now, what’s light? Light is that which describes; in other words, it shows you what exists. If you entered a pitch- darkroom with no flicker of light, even though that room may be beautifully adorned with state-of-the-art décor, furniture, and electronic gadgets, it would be impossible for you to see and appreciate their beauty. That’s because there’s no light describing or showing you the things present in that room.

In the same way, young people who don’t have Jesus in their lives can’t know what true success, fulfilment, peace and prosperity are. Such people grope in darkness, and in utter hopelessness—journeying aimlessly, with a ticket to nowhere. Restless will they be until they find their rest in Christ Jesus, who is the True Light that lights every man. He’ll light your life with success, peace, health, joy, and prosperity. Glory to God!

Blessed Holy Spirit, I thank you for flooding my heart with the revelations of who I am in Christ, what I have, and what I can do. I declare that I’m working in the light, as He’s in the light. I win today and always because I have the light of life. Amen.
