It got me thinking about just how powerful the sun is; that it makes it possible for me to see where I was going.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">After my meeting I was heading to the Center to write this blog. I saw a parallel between the sun\u2019s function to daily bring light into our dark world and Jesus, who, in a very different way, brings light able to shine in the darkness that otherwise can overtake our lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Jesus\u2019 self-disclosure in John 8 is one of seven declarations he makes about himself in the book of John, referred to as the \u201cI AM\u201d statements. Each help us comprehend his identity. Let\u2019s look at what it means for Jesus to be the \u201clight of the world\u201d and therefore the<strong>&nbsp;light<\/strong>&nbsp;in our personal life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Jesus says, \u201cWhoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;What an incredible proclamation! I personally experience this to be true! Jesus is not saying there won\u2019t be darkness around us if we follow him. Rather, he will be our&nbsp;<strong>light in the darkness<\/strong>, so we will never have to lose our way. I wish I could tell you I have never lost my way in the darkness since I became a follower of Jesus. I have. What saved me in those times was turning to Jesus, inviting his light into my darkness and then him showing me which way to go. He has never failed to be light in my darkness when I asked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Jesus is proclaiming how you may have his light in all kinds of darkness which impact your daily life. YOU MUST FOLLOW HIM! When I was a mom with two young children, I was tempted at times to consider ways to tie them to me so there wouldn\u2019t be an opportunity for them to stray or get lost. Of course, I never used such methods to keep them safe. But I learned to never take my eyes off them in a crowd or especially at night. Jesus never takes his eyes off you either. But, like a kid at times, you and I stray instead of following close behind. Part of maturing in knowing Jesus is to learn how to follow close to him. Even when we don\u2019t, Jesus\u2019 loving eyes are on you nevertheless! His light is available when you stray into darkness or darkness finds you.&nbsp;&nbsp;You may feel like you\u2019re in a dark closet or a room with no light and don\u2019t know where the switch is, but if you ask Jesus to bring his light, he will!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Jesus invites you to \u201ctaste and see\u201d what his light is. He\u2019s saying: If you choose to follow me, my light will shine brightly, and never go out, no matter the circumstances. You will have \u201cthe light of life\u201d that I give, which is so different from this world\u2019s light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Is this world\u2019s darkness affecting you?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it like you\u2019re in a dark room not knowing how to turn on the light? As darkness in your world presses in, Jesus\u2019 light gets that much brighter to mark your way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">And, not only will Jesus give you his light, once he does so you can also be \u201cthe light of the world\u201d to others who are caught in real darkness (see Matthew 5:14). Jesus says, \u201clet your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.\u201d (Matthew 5:16)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Seeker of light or bearer of his light, Christ is able to diffuse darkness, giving the \u201clight of life\u201d as you follow him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">As always, if the Renewing Life Center can serve you in some present darkness, we would be delighted to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI am the light of the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-renewing-life-center-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
