Light of the World

 
John 8:12 reads, "Then Jesus again spoke to them saying," I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life!"

How much light do you shine into others lives?  In our fast paced life nowadays, we all, even me, sometimes get so wrapped up in our own lives, that we don't get involved in others lives.  The only Jesus that others will see is the Jesus in you and me.

 In  Galatians 2 verse 20, it reads," I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life that I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and delivered himself up for me." 
That is the hardest part.  Dying to ourselves.  Does that mean that we physically die?  No, we must try to "die" to our sinful nature.  Some people think that people of God who are in the leadership roles must be perfect to lead others.  Not so at all!  Not to use this as an excuse, but we are all human!  For anyone to expect anyone else to be perfect, will be very disappointed.  It is a constant battle of good versus evil.  We can either choose to do wrong, or choose to do right.  God gave us all free choice to either follow Him, or go our own way.  Oftentimes, He allows us to learn from our mistakes, so that He can strengthen us in order to help others who are going through similar circumstances as we are or have been through.

God Bless everyone!
