The Light of God

            What is light? It is the opposite of darkness. It is something that illuminates things that are surrounded by darkness. Where does light come from? There are many sources of light. Some are man made such a flash light and some are made by God like the sun or a fire fly. Then you have the light of God. The light of God is unlike any other. It surpasses all others. The sun or even the brightest light made by man can only spread light in an area. Darkness is still there. It exists in shadows, around the other side of things, under them, behind them. The light of God removes darkness completely. The light of God fills the smallest space or even the largest.

            God is the light of the world. That statement has many meanings. He is the light of the world because He is the hope of man who struggles in darkness and evil on earth. When a man has God in his life then he is filled with God’s light. The darkness, the evil cannot exist where God is. God fills that mans soul and heart completely. A man who doesn’t have God in his life has a heart and soul filled with darkness where evil runs rampant. Only through God can a man find his way down the narrow path. There are those who think they can do it on their own. I tell you that only the light of God can show you the way to avoid the snares of the evil one that lie before you.

            God is the light of the world because when the new heaven and the new earth are created there will be no night. There will be no darkness. The light of God will illuminate the world so that darkness cannot exist and evil will be found no more. We will be wrapped in the light of God, always with him, always surrounded by his love.

            God is the light of the world because he is righteous. God is everything good and pure. He is the opposite of darkness and evil. God’s light can exist anywhere but darkness can only exist where God’s light is not. Evil can only exist where God is not.

            When you have God in your life and have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior then you have the light of God. The light of God will shine through you so that you can be a beacon to those who are still lost in the darkness. We continue the work started by Jesus. Rejoice that you can be a part of God’s plan.
