John 8:12-19 New Living Translation (NLT)
If someone came to you and claimed they had the power to help you avoid the dark and dangerous places in life, what would you do? His or her claim would call for a response from you wouldn’t it? Jesus claims to be the Light of the World that leads to spiritual life, so we must respond to his claim. Either we believe it and are willing to use our faith to follow him. Or, we refuse to believe it and therefore deny that Word any power in our lives. Much of Scripture is like this scenario. The Word speaks and we respond with either “Yes Lord,” or “Won’t believe it.”
Tonight, we will step into a New Year. This can be a new beginning in your spiritual life with Christ. He claims to be the Light and he invites you to walk with him in the Light of His Love. He claims you never have to walk in darkness again. To stay close to Jesus is to stay close to the Source of Light or Truth. He alone knows your heart and the plans he has for you. So, stay the course and see where the Light takes you this year.
