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)
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the World—so that we wouldn’t have to walk in darkness!
Thank You that the
darkness of evil doesn’t have the power—nor will it ever have the power—to overcome
that Light we find in the Creator of life itself, Jesus Christ, whose life
brings light to all humankind.
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, which exposed the
works of darkness and showed me my desperate need for a Savior.
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 to truly live in the freedom of Your marvelous Light!
Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the World—so that we wouldn’t have to walk in darkness!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
