I John 1:5 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”
Is Your Flashlight Ready?
7.5 million people were left without power in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Without power, the first noticeable thing missing was light. Unless you were impacted by the super storm, you probably didn’t think twice about others without power because you yourself had lights and electricity. The truth is, there are millions upon millions of people without God’s Light. Oftentimes we think as much about that fact as we do about the aftermath of Sandy.
The Bible says that “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” Our fellowship with God is characterized as “walking in the light.” I John 1:7 says, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. . . .” A person without light cannot see, perceive, or go in the right direction. They are literally “in the dark.”
A flashlight without batteries doesn’t do you any good when the power goes out. Your house has no power, the flashlight has no power, and you have no power! People without Jesus Christ have no power, no light, and no direction.
The way you show the Light is to “walk in the light.” Much like a flashlight gives light in a dark room, does your life show that “God is light”? The message those in darkness need to hear has been entrusted to those of us who have the Light. Make sure your “batteries” are charged and you are ready to show the Light to a world in darkness.
