Fully Alive in the Light

Fully Alive in the Light

“In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” (Joh_1:4)

Jesus is the Light of the World. He came into this world as a light shining in darkness, and brought us the one true revelation of God; showing us the love of the Father, and changing our world forever. But, He means for us to take this personally.

John says, “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men” (Joh_1:4). One translation puts it this way, “The WoDr Mrd gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone.” This means even you and me!

And, remember from our previous postings, the light He brought to us is “the revelation of God’s love.” God wants us to be fully alive in the light of His love.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Jesus is the way, that we might be saved; the truth, that we might be sure; and the life, that we might be satisfied! Practically speaking this means that when you open your heart to Jesus, His life will enter fully into you and bring the revelation of God’s love throughout your whole world – changing everything. Saving you; securing you; and satisfying you!

“I once was blind, but now I see!” the man shouted after Jesus healed him.

“And what is it that you see dear brother?”

“I see the love of God everywhere I look!”

May the Prayer of Paul the Apostle be answered in each of our lives:

“I pray that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Eph_3:16-19).

Or, if I may sum it up in four words — “Let there be light!”
