Light in the Darkness
Philippians 2:14-15
Do all things without complaining and disputing;
that you may become blameless, children of God
without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation. among whom you shine as lights in the world.
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
How well I remember singing this song with all my little friends in Sunday School. We would hold up our pointer finger pretending it was our light that would never go out. We were all going to shine for Jesus forever!
"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life. __John 8:12
Jesus became the light of the world to make a way for us in the darkness. Without Christ in our lives we are lost, like sheep without a shepherd. We live our lives without hope, and with no promise for the future.
Before coming to Christ my life was without purpose. I simply did the same thing over and over every day, for no other reason than to pay my bills. Life seemed so mundane. Then I heard a pastor speak and it was like he was speaking just to me: "You can't know your purpose until you know the One who made you." His words got my attention! He then went on to introduce the audience to Jesus Christ. At that point in my life I knew Jesus as the Son of God, the One to whom we prayed and sang about in church. However, I didn't know we could know Him personally. That day I confessed I was a sinner, asked for His forgiveness, and invited Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior. By faith I was saved. My life has not been the same since. I have purpose where I once had confusion, light where I once walked in darkness, and hope for all my tomorrows.
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the
heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. __Romans 10:9-10
