In Him was
life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:4
When Jesus came to a world that was in to darkness and dead in
its sin, He came as light and life. His light dispelled sin’s darkness wherever
He went, for the forces of evil could not withstand Him. The life He brought
was abundant and free, available to all who were dead in their sin. (Eph. 2:1;
John 10:10).
If you are a Christian, Jesus lives in you, and His light is
within you. Christians are called to dispel darkness (Eph. 5:11). The light of
Christ ought to shine so brightly through you that those practicing darkness
are uncomfortable when they are around you. The light within you should dispel
darkness from the lives of your friends, coworkers, and family members.
The fullness of life found in Christ dwells within you as a
Christian (Col. 1:27). The life that Jesus offers is available to others
through you. Don’t discount what you have to give to those who are hurting.
Christ’s life within you is more than sufficient to meet every human need. When
people encounter you, they encounter Christ within you. You do not know all the
answers, but you have Someone within you who does! You will not carry the
burden of the needs of others. Christ will. Be aware that just as many resisted
Jesus, so there will be those who resist the truth that you offer (John 1:11).
Be thankful, however, that God chooses to express Himself through you, giving
light and life to those around you.
