“BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT” - John 12:35-36
"The LIGHT is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the LIGHT, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the LIGHT, BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT, so that you may become children of LIGHT." ~ Jesus from John 12:35-36
“I came into the world as LIGHT, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.” John 12:46
“Beloved: This is the message that we have heard from Jesus Christ and proclaim to you: God is LIGHT, and in Him there is no darkness at all…”
from 1 John 1:5–2:2
MEDITATION
“What kind of darkness does Jesus warn us to avoid? It is the darkness of unbelief and rejection - not only of the Son who came into the world to save it - but rejection of the Father who offers us Healing and Reconciliation through His Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus' last public discourse before His death and resurrection (according to John's Gospel), Jesus speaks of Himself as the LIGHT of the world. In the Scriptures LIGHT is associated with God's Truth and Life. Psalm 27 exclaims, “The Lord is my LIGHT and my salvation.”
“The LIGHT of Christ removes the darkness and reveals the goodness of God to us…
Just as natural LIGHT exposes the darkness and reveals what is hidden, so God's word enables those with eyes of Faith to perceive the hidden Truths of God's kingdom. Our universe could not exist without LIGHT - and no living thing could be sustained without it. Just as natural LIGHT produces warmth and energy - enabling seed to sprout and living things to grow - in like manner, God's LIGHT and Truth enables us to grow in the abundant life which only He can offer us. Jesus' Words produce Life - the very Life of God - within those who receive it with Faith.
“To see Jesus, the Word of God who became flesh for our sake (John 1), is to see God in visible form. To hear the Words of Jesus is to hear the voice of God. He is the very LIGHT of God that has power to overcome the darkness of sin, ignorance, and unbelief. God's LIGHT and Truth brings Healing, Pardon, and Transformation. This LIGHT is not only for the chosen people of Israel, but for the whole world as well. Jesus warns that if we refuse to listen to His Word, if we choose to ignore it or to take it very lightly, then we choose to remain in spiritual darkness…
“…Do you want to know more of God and grow in His transforming Love? Look to Jesus, the LIGHT of God, and in His Truth you will find Joy, Freedom, and Wholeness of Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul.”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, in Your Word I find Life, Truth, and Freedom. May I never doubt Your Word nor forget Your commandments. Increase my Love for Your Truth that I may embrace it fully and live according to it."
