You Are A Witness Of The Light

John 1:1-7 - In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that He didn’t make. Life itself was in Him, and this life gives light to everyone. The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. God sent John the Baptist to tell everyone about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.

Jesus, in talking to His disciples at the end of His ministry, said to them: As the Father sent Me, so send I you (John 20:21). Jesus made that point clear to them which might not have been so clear. Once their Rabbi was gone they might have lost hope. It also implies that Jesus knew what they would go through and the difficulties they would encounter, and maybe even gone back to normal lives. So He sent them all, not just a chosen few.

Jesus sees your life today and all the struggles you are facing. He sent you into this world and promised to always be with you – nevertheless, He sent you. So be bold and take heart, your Light – Jesus – shines through the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish Him.

Like John the Baptist, you have a testimony to share about what Christ has done and is doing in your life.

Share the LIGHT with someone who needs it. Trust in His sovereignty to lead you. Today, pray for boldness.
