The Life Was Light
“In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
(John 1:1-4)
Today’s Morsel: They say that if we
do not receive light or have light, we will soon die. It has also been stated
that those who live in Alaska, or some of the other northern countries are
often depressed due to a lack of light. Now we may be able to understand why many
in the world are often depressed and suicidal. The world is full of darkness.
Jesus is not only the light of the world, but He is also the life of the world.
As He said: “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12) And He came
that we might have life and that more abundantly (John 10:10). John said that
in Him was life, and that life was the light of men. When we look into the
word of God, we see light. And it is this light that gives us life. As Jesus
told Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Moses encourages us
that He is thy life (Deuteronomy 30:20) For in Him we live, and we move and
have our being as we are his offspring.
Sing: Light of the world you stepped down
into darkness, opened my eyes let me see; beauty that made this heart adore
You, hope of a life spent with you. So, here I am to worship, here I am to bow
down, here I am to say that you’re my God. You’re altogether lovely,
altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.
Thought For Today: Jesus is the light
that will get you out of darkness.
