Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,
"l am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in
darkness, but have the light of life.” v 12
Now as the Holy light has shown upon us
and we should Arise and Shine for His Glory. When we acquire His light we need
to endure the below promises.
First, His followers will never walk in
darkness, which is a reference to the assurance of salvation we enjoy. As true followers
of the Light, we will never follow the ways of sin, never live in a state of
continually sinning (1 John 1.5–7). Rather, we repent of our sin in order to
stay close to the Holy Light. The second promise is that we will reflect the
Holy Light. Just as He came as the Light of the world, He commands us to be
“lights,” too. In Matthew 5.14–16 we see believers depicted as the light of the
world. Just as the moon has no light of its own, reflecting the light of the
sun, so are believers to reflect the Light of Christ so that all can see it in
us. The Light is evident to others by the good deeds we do in faith and through
the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus bids us shine with a clear,
pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the
night;
In this world of darkness, we must
shine,
You in your small corner, and I in
mine
.
Priscilla Alexander
