 Walk
in Light
"I
am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not
abide in darkness"
John 12:46
This world is dark as midnight; Jesus has
come that by faith we may have light and may no longer sit in the gloom
which covers all the rest of mankind.
Whosoever is a very wide term: it means
you and me. If we trust in Jesus we shall no more sit in the dark shadow
of death but shall enter into the warm light of a day which shall never
end. Why do we not come out into the light at once?
A cloud may sometimes hover over us, but
we shall not abide in darkness if we believe in Jesus. He has come to give
us broad daylight. Shall He come in vain? If we have faith we have the
privilege of sunlight: let us enjoy it. From the night of natural
depravity, of ignorance, of doubt, of despair, of sin, of dread, Jesus has
come to set us free; and all believers shall know that He no more comes in
vain than the sun rises and fails to scatter his heat and light.
Shake off thy depression, dear
brother. Abide not in the dark, but abide in the light. In Jesus is thy
hope, thy joy, thy heaven. Look to Him, to Him only, and thou shalt
rejoice as the birds rejoice at sunrise and as the angels rejoice before
the throne.
