I Am The Light Of The World

 The living God is not only the foundation and superstructure of all life, but Jesus is also pure light - eternal light and the source of all light. He Is light and in Him is no darkness at all, for He said, "I Am The Light Of The World - he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." What an incredible promise!
 Because of His life, the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. He is the light that lights every human that comes into the world, and the life that He bestows on all who believe in Him, disperses the cruel darkness that has entrapped the children of all humans and blinded their eyes to the wonderful gospel of God's grace.
 The Lord Jesus is not only the Source and Sustainer of our physical life - the old, fallen, biological life we inherited from Adam, but He is also the Author and Finisher of our new, spiritual, eternal life, which we received by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. He that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
 May we all come to a deeper understanding that the self-contained, eternally existent LIFE of Christ which is poured into the hearts of all who are redeemed by His blood, declared righteous through faith, permanently present by His Spirit, and made into a new creation so that we can walk in His eternal light, wisdom, holiness, and love.
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

Our United Prayer:
How we praise You, Heavenly Father, for the life of the Lord Jesus. Thank You for rescuing us from the kingdom of darkness and bringing us into Your glorious kingdom of light. Thank You for giving us my new life in Christ. May we live each day in a way that is pleasing to You, placing our self-lives on the Cross, and living in spirit and truth to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
