Carry the Light
It’s 10 o’clock at night and I’m concerned because Rosemary isn’t home. It’s not that I don’t know where she is. She’s on her way home from the hospital where she has been visiting her aunt and I know she will be home soon. I have turned the lights on under our carport and on the patio so she can see her way inside. You see the problem for me is that it’s dark out there. I don’t like thinking about her being in the dark.
In the New Testament, the word light is identified with goodness and holiness. Darkness is associated with unrighteousness or evil. Jesus described Himself as “the Light of the world” (John 9:5). He invited the people to put their trust in Him so that they might become sons of light (John 12:36). The apostle John called Jesus “the true Light,” who gives illumination to all (John 1:9). At salvation, we were transferred from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of light (Col. 1:12-13 niv).
There are lots of folks out there in the dark. It’s our job to be the light. In the dark, it’s amazing how little light it takes to be noticed and to make a difference.
Well, Rosemary’s home now. Safe and in the light.
But there’s still a lot of darkness and a continuing need for light.
Be a light and be blessed.
