Daily news comes with the evidence of a fallen world. Crazed gunman in Arizona, flash floods in Brisbane, governments crumbling in the Middle East. A young marriage falling apart, a diagnosis of cancer, battle of depression, the pain of loneliness. Is there any light in the world?
The Scripture says, “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it … There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him … But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. “ (John 1:4-5, 9-11, 12 NASB). Yes, there is light in the world. The light of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Have you received the Light of the world yet? He can illuminate your path through life, giving you meaning and purpose, a straight and sure path to walk along.
Let Him shine in you and through you into a dark, fallen world…today.
Always a good reminder that we are children of God. Recently was teaching about Romans 8 to my high school Sunday School class. Humbling to think that we can call God our father.
