Light Of the World
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." --- John 8:12
 
Daylight savings time has ended - taking away the extra hour of sunshine we enjoyed in the spring and summer months. Our earthen vessels must now adjust to the early call of darkness through the fall and pending winter months. Thanks to the glorious sun and moon God placed in vault of the skies, we have these abiding sources to light our paths on the earth by day and by night. The sun and moon cast light 'on' the earth. So, what is our source of light 'in' the earth, and where is it found? I am so glad you asked! The light in the earth is the Everlasting Light - the Light of Jesus Christ. He placed His light within the vault of every believer's soul through the Holy Spirit Who lives in us. Our light brightens the way for nonbelievers and hope seekers to discover the Good News of our Lord and Savior! Jesus is the Light of the world, and His transformational light is what we have within us to share in the earth! Perhaps you can understand why the devil works so hard to crush our spirits. We are light that has brilliance and life changing power that is not welcomed by the ruler in this world. However, the greatness of the One Who is in us has overcome this world, and we shall continue to be light in the world for those who desire to know the Savior. We carry Light that will never burn out, because Jesus is the Light of the world! Praise the Lord!
