Living in the light?

John 12:31- 50

Jesus spends a lot of time taking about light and darkness. It is a very contrasting picture, easy for us to understand.

What does light do? Here are a few things about walking in the light.

1) Nothing is hidden in the light – everything can be easily seen when the lights are turned on.
2) There is no stumbling in the light – because we can see clearly we will not stumble, sin!
3) There is warmth in the light – even on the coldest winter day, when the sun is out it does get warm. Often we can become cold emotionally and spiritually, if we remain in the light we will never grow cold!
4) Darkness is nothing more than the absence of light
5) When the light is on darkness is revealed – you can see more clearly the difference between what is dark and what is light when there is light on. If you live in darkness it is easy to grow used to the darkness and to confuse darkness and light.

I know there are many more analogies that we can use and hopefully as you go through your day to day the Lord will reveal one that is important for you.

Walk in the light, the warmth, where everything is revealed, where there is no stumbling, where you can see more clearly and where it is easy to discern what is darkness and what is light!
