Darkness Can Never Dispel The Light

by Patty Kamahele, Administrative Assistant

 

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in Me will no longer remain in the dark."  (John 12:46)

The other night we had an unexpected power outage, so I looked for any kind of light near me and grabbed my iPad. The light from my device stood out amid the darkness of the room. 

And that's how the Light of Jesus is...He stands out in the midst of a dark world.

Sometimes we don't like to admit that we lived in darkness before we came Him. But no matter how we lived apart from Jesus, it was darkness.

I remember stepping into a church full of the Light of Jesus, after being in a very dark bar a few nights before. The contrast was overwhelming and I knew I had been in the wrong place, especially in comparison to the light only the Lord gives a heart. It was then, that I gave my life to Him.

The Light can dispel darkness, but the darkness can never dispel the Light. This Christmas, may we glory in the Light of the World…Jesus. He is the One who worthy of all praise, all honor, and all worship. 

Please take a few moments to listen to this song: Light of the World by Lauren Daigle

 

Reflection:

  • How has your life changed since you came to the Light of Jesus?

  • How can you be a Light to those around you this CHRISTmas?
