Light!

Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.” John 8:12 MSG

Truth Facts:
1. There is no other person, no other authority, no other truth apart from Jesus. The world always looks for options, or the easy way out. Unfortunately, there is no easy way out of this: you are either guided by the Light or you are walking in darkness. There is no middle ground.

2. Jesus speaks from the place of authority, because he knows who he is, who is backing him up and what he can do. He is the undisputed Light of the world, who gives clarity to the thick uncertainties that surround us. Do you know where you are?

3. Have you located your position in Christ or you are still chasing shadows, unsure and uncertain about your eternal destination? Do not forget: on the dreadful day of judgment, there will be no joint effort, no group judgement, no collaboration or cooperation in sentencing. Each of us will render an account to God for our lives, and we will receive the just consequences of our actions.

4. Following Christ means walking with him and being guided by him. It means Christ determines all that you do, say and experience. He is the Light that shines on your path, guiding your feet where you should go, guiding your hands into what you should do, guiding your thoughts into what is proper and good and guiding your life into eternity. He provides plenty of light, enough to guide us for the rest of our lives.

Where are you headed? Do you even know where you are at the moment? Is Christ the one and only factor that you consider when taking decisions? Is he your only life coach, consultant and caretaker? Do you have other viable options? Consider critically; eternity depends on the answers to those questions. His time of favour is here.
