Turn on the light

John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

In the first five verses of the gospel of John, there is a beautiful summary of creation deep in theology. A summary of creation, sin, and redemption through Christ of a lost world. A summary of how everything is sustained by God’s sovereign power. We live in a dark sin filled world which is so evident all around us today in all arena’s. The darkness has not only entered into our daily lives, but our churches too  as leaders fall or preach false truths. This darkness has been here all along, but the Light has also. John 12:46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

When we get scared in the night, our first move is to turn on the light. That light brings an instant peace for the unknown of the darkness is revealed. Those troubling sins, fears, anxieties, and demons we battle can be conquered through the Light of Christ. Those tugs that you feel when you know you are steep in sin are convictions to turn from that sin. Turning from that sin to Christ will make you a child of Light, and Christ can conquer that darkness you cannot. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” The way to battle those deep dark demons, is through the power of the Light that has not darkness at all: Pure Light. 1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Turn on the Light in your life that never grows dim, and the fears of the darkness will flee from you for eternity.
