EPHESIANS 5:13

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

TO PONDER

When Jesus comes as light to shine on the world, all the wicked are revealed and condemned.  They would not come to the light because their deeds were evil.  So they will not come to Christ because of their evil deeds. Christ is the light and they don't want to come into that light because it will reveal the truth about them. They love to stay in the darkness. They stay away from the light. 

Jesus as light enables us to discriminate between that which is well-pleasing and that which is not pleasing to God. It is in the light of Christ that all motives and all actions must be tested. We are to expose every action, every decision, every motive to the light of Christ.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, Thank you that I may walk in your light every day. By your Holy Spirit, help me to reflect your light in my life so that I may bring your light into the lives of those who still walk in darkness. Amen
