John 8:12-20

In our house, we have strategically placed our night lights. When we need to move around at night and not disturb others, those lights may be handy. However, If I really need to see in the dark, I will flip the switch and flood a room with light for an even better experience, possibly saving a few toe injuries.

Interestingly, this world offers what they believe to be light. Finances, social standing, and education are just a few of these “lights” that the world will say, if sought, will be fulfillment.

Jesus, however, says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12 ESV). All other “lights” will fall short. They will only bring us so far. The satisfaction they bring will leave us wanting for more. Jesus is the only Light. Following Jesus is flipping the switch to see everything. We will no longer stumble through life with Jesus in the lead.

• What are the night lights in my life?

• What do I need to do to flood my life with the light of Christ?
