Stand in the Light

 

“God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”

—1 John 1:5b

If you’ve ever worked on a stage, or in a TV studio, or at a portrait photographer’s studio, you will understand how important light is. It’s not enough to hang around the periphery of the lighted space. To gain the most benefit, a person must stand in the center of the light.

This fact remains true in the spiritual realm, too. To get the maximum benefit of the Light of God’s Presence, we must stay in the center of that Light.

The Apostle John schooled the Christians under his care when he wrote to them what’s recorded in 1 John 1:5-7:

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

As we prepare to go out into the world throughout the coming week, let’s purpose to stay in the very center of God’s Light. If we do, we will see much clearer the pathway He has laid out before us.
