Living by Light

Everything was created through him; nothing not one thing came into being without him. What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by. The Life–Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn't put it out.
John 1:3–5

Have you ever heard the saying, Let's put some light on the situation? When Jesus came that's exactly what he did! Before Jesus came to earth, the Israelites were wandering around in the darkness trying their hardest to seek God through religion. The religious leaders piled more and more rules on the people that simply took them further away from God. Then Jesus came on the scene to show everyone the way to a relationship with God because He is the way.

Jesus Christ came on earth to bring God's light to us. He came so that you and I could have a relationship with God. God knew that without Christ we would continue wandering around in the darkness. Jesus came to show us that there is a new way, a better way. We no longer have to live feeling trapped in the darkness of our sin or even our circumstances. We now have Light! Christ is the Light that we are to live by. He sets us free. He gives us direction. He gives us a new way to live. As we travel on this road of life, when we don't know the way, all we need to do is turn to Jesus because He is the Light that will guide us through.
