The Light

Wow! Hey! Look at this! No way! No, seriously! Turn around and just take a look at this! No, I like what I’m seeing Here. But that is just darkness. Yes, but I’m comfortable with it. But this is light! I know, I can see the reflections. But that’s nothing compared to this! I enjoy looking at the reflections. But this is beautiful! What are you, some kind of fanatic? You really should turn around. Are you judging me? You are judging me, aren’t you? This is incredible! Everyone should see this! Hey! I like what I have here. I accept what you’ve Got. Just accept what I’ve got. But this is it! What you’ve got is nothing! Nothing!?! You arrogant closed-minded @*#%*!! I’ve got to get closer. How can he say I’ve got nothing? Why, I’ve looked this direction for years! ... For years and years! I’d think after all those years I would at least see something! Maybe I should take a look. But what If it’s not what I hope it is? What if I’m disappointed? At least this way I can still have all this ... Nothing! Maybe just a peek wouldn’t hurt. Wow! Why did I wait so long? Hey! Take a look at this! No way! I like what I have here! I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (Jesus Christ - John 8:12) So what does that mean ... Jesus is the light of the world? Well, one thing light does is to show clearly the way to go. Jesus is the way to eternal life. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. (Jesus - John 14:6) Believe it or not, God really does want us to come freely to Him because He loves us deeply. However, one of the consequences of light is that it exposes a lot of filth and cobwebs, and gunk! Our true sinful nature is evident in comparison to a perfect and just God. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) But the good news is we can freely come to God because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins with His death on the cross and resurrection. You can receive God’s free gift of eternal life when you turn and look to the light (Jesus Christ) and place your trust in Him for your salvation. Wow! What a sight! Every one which seeth the Son [Jesus Christ], and believeth on him, may have everlasting life. (John 6:40)
