“That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.” John 1:9
The Lord Jesus is that true and living light Who enlightens every person born into the human race.
Every man who has ever been born into this world has some illumination from God, for it is not God’s will that any should perish. All have received 1) the exterior light of creation and all are given 2) the inner light of conscience – and as a result of the light that man has received from God.. all are responsible before Him, for all possess the truth of His existence and yet many refuse to acknowledge the true and living God.
We however are God’s adoptive children because we have received the light of life in our hearts and trusted the Lord Jesus as our Savior. Therefore we are to set our affection on things above and to walk in the light as He is the light – for God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shone into our hearts, to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ’.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You that You have placed Your Holy Spirit of light into our hearts to lead, direct, govern and train us. Help me to walk in the light of Your love and truth and may the beauty of Christ shine through me to others – so that they too may come to a saving knowledge of our Savior, Who is the true and only light – and in Whom is life eternal. This I ask in Jesus’ name, AMEN.
