The Light That Leads To Life

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

—John 8:12 (NLT)

Father of the Light of the World,

Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the World.

Thank You that there is no darkness, no evil, that can ever overcome Your Light—Your Word in the flesh—which You sent to the world in the form of a baby to save us all.

Thank You that though I once was a prisoner to the evil at work in me—an evil which held me captive in sin—I am now free from its bondage, because of the Light.

Thank You that, as I follow after Jesus, I don’t have to walk in darkness—blindly stumbling through life, driven by evil to fall into sin—but I can choose to walk in the Light of Your Truth, which leads me to life, because of the power of Christ within me! 

Thank You that, in Jesus, I experience Your presence with me, Your love for me, Your protection over me, Your provision for all my needs, and Your guidance as You reveal Your plan for me as You call me to truly live in Your marvelous LIGHT!

Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the World.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
