In him was life,and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:4-5
Light.
Light is at the core of nearly every activity we have.
When you walk into a room, what is one of the first things you do?
Turn on a light.
When someone is driving a night, what do he do?
Turns on the lights
When the electricity in your house goes out because of a storm, what do you do?
Light a candle.
The list could go on forever, but the one consistent thing is that light drives out the darkness. The light of a single candle can illuminate an entire room. And a candle can light another candle without reducing its brightness. The same goes for the light of Christ which lives in you.
When Jesus comes into your heart, when he transforms your soul, he gives you his light to shine.
Before Jesus came into the world to walk with mankind, the world was plagued with darkness; a darkness which impacted even the closest of God's followers...
Moses killed a man.
David gave into his lust and caused a man's death.
Aaron allowed the Israelites to worship a golden calf.
Samson gave into Delilah.
Jacob lied to gain his inheritance.
And so on as humanity decayed.
Humanity needed the light of Christ to shine and reveal the darkness. And within the light of Christ we found that we can have life.
Light equals life, growth, peace, joy and love.
Darkness equals death, decay, mistrust, hate and pain.
We will all have dark valleys to walk through in our lives, but with the light of Christ shining within us, we will always have a light to show the way out of the darkness.

The dying Jesus is the evidence of God's anger toward sin; but the living Jesus
is the proof of God's love and forgiveness.
