Devotion:
Read John 8:12.
“I am the Light of the world” is the second of seven ”I AM” declarations of Jesus. In these statements Jesus is pointing out his divine identity and purpose in the world. Jesus is claiming that he is the exclusive source of spiritual light. During the power or outage of the recent tornado I lighted candles and used flashlights to dispel the darkness. When moving from one room to another, my husband and I would shine a flashlight in front of us to light the way. We followed the light. Likewise, the Light of Jesus Christ dispels the darkness of sin and evil in the world. Jesus lights the way for us. He shows us how to walk in goodness, kindness, truth, hope, and love.
Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, so are believers to reflect the Light of Christ so that all can see it in us. The Light is evident to others by the good deeds we do in faith and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Personal Worship Option:
Make this verse your personal prayer today:
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
