When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12, NIV) .
Light is one of the basic sources of energy in the world. Light grows food, provides warmth, enables vision. Do you know that we have eyes which are meant for seeing, but our eyes are completely useless without light. We are able to see only when light enters our eyes and causes reflection.
Light is so important that in the beginning, God created two lights (Gen 1:16) to rule the day and the night respectively. Notice that the word used is "rule" not brighten. When light brightens a place, it takes charge! It expels darkness.
Darkness and light cannot share a space. When you enter a place filled with darkness, all you have to do is use the light. Turn on the switches. Put the batteries back. Recharge your torches. And light will start ruling.
Jesus told the people, "I am the light of the world". If you want to rule the world, you must have Jesus. That's why He said, you will never walk in darkness. You will never be defeated.
Child of God, can you turn on the lights this day in your life, marriage, family, business, academics? Can you bring Jesus into it, and watch your life experience the light of life.
Prayer
Lord Jesus come into every area of my life. Bring your light and rule my world. Make me victorious through your light in Jesus name. Amen
