Devotions: The Light of Life

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

John 8:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

There are many contrasts in life: light and dark, good and evil, life and death, hot and cold. In some cases there is also a “grey” area in between, but not always. When it comes to God and the world, God is light and the world is darkness (because of sin.) There is either light or dark. We have to choose to either walk in the light or walk in the dark, there is no grey area here. God is light, sin is darkness. We can’t partly walk in sin and walk in the light at the same time. The trick is that with light comes life, but with darkness comes death. So when we choose where we will walk, light or dark, we are ultimately making the choice between life and death. We cannot walk in the dark and still have life. And if we are to walk in the light and have life then we need to follow Christ. Just as we cannot have life and walk in the darkness, we cannot walk in the light without following Christ. He is the light, so in order to walk in the light we have to walk in Him. We must choose between living like the world, walking in the dark and gaining death, or living like Christ, walking in the light and gaining life. Follow the Light of life!
