1 John 1:5
1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
God is light and in him there is no darkness, he is the light that conquers all the darkness.
Ps 119:105
Ps 119:105
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
God’s light is our direction, he tells us where to go, how to walk and where to walk becuase ultimately his direction is greater then our direction.
We can walk our own path but we know that it is not in the light, for if it was in the Light then God would be guiding us along the path.
So if we know that God is light and there is no darkness in him then we know that he is the Light that will guide us along our paths in life.
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.”
Then we introduce the path,
God being light and in him no darkness, gives us a path to walk out of light and his path away from the dark and to the light is Jesus.
Jesus is the light of the world, the path away from the darkness, who ever would follow Jesus would never have to walk in darkness, no. they would begin to walk in the light of life.
ultimetly there is two forces at play here.
The light and the darkness are opposites, they cannot exisit in the same place.
Good and Evil are the same way, Good cannot be in evil and evil cannot be in good.
God gives Light, God is Good
Lets take a momment to lay our hands out and pray, asking God to be the light in this dark momment.
Amen.
Let me lead you one last thought
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Just as this flashlight does not serve its purpose if it is turned off, you cannot be hidden from the world.
challenge others to see the light in the darkness.
be a light for others, for as God sent Jesus you have been sent out by Jesus to be the light in the world to others.
give to othes compassion,
give to others comfort,
be with people who grieve like Jobs friends who sits with him and quietly affirms their love for him for 7days with out words.
just as God is light and brought you out of darkness, you are to show that light to others so that God may do that same thing for them.
