The Light of Christ - Is Truth

Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

When you enter a dark room, a really dark room, what can you see?  Nothing. When you turn on a light everything around you is illuminated, the darkness disappears. Darkness cannot exist in light.  If we choose to remain in the dark to things eternal, to truths that are available to us, we are refusing light. To refuse light is to refuse truth.

So many people want pick and choose when they remain in the dark and when they remain in the light. They don't equate refusing light with refusing truth. 

Some believe as long as they are in a bit of light it's enough, they can roam freely in the darkness and slip into the light as needed.

When light is presented to us and we refuse that light we are in all reality refusing Christ.

Light will shine in darkness, and that darkness will NOT comprehend it.  Darkness does not want light.

Once more just knowing, really knowing that when our Savior returns many people will not be known by Him, but think they are- THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO COMPREHEND! Those who choose darkness, those who choose not to know Christ and be known by Him will get what they choose. They will get darkness, and they will not know Christ, and He will not know them.

Are you known by Christ?

Do you live in light?

Do you long to live in the light?

We need so much more.  We fight against powers that would keep us in the dark, completely in the dark.

Please, Father, please, let us live in the light of Christ, in the light of the Word made flesh.  Please, by Your mercy and grace, please.

Forgive us, forgive me for choosing the dark that I've chosen. Help me to seek light and live in all Your truths.

All in Your will, all for Your glory, Your honor!

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, now and forever.

AMEN.
