Light Has Come Into the World

John 3:16-21

Light Has Come Into the World

“That the light has come into the world.”   John 3:19a  (KJV)

As a young girl, mother took me on a long journey by rail covering many states. Tunnels were a necessary part of this train ride to reach our destination. Dark hardly describes the utter blackness we experienced upon entering the tunnels. Then suddenly, light came! How well that phrase rings true ~ light at the end of the tunnel.

So it is in this life. We are born in the darkness of a fallen state. Not until we see the true light of Christ do we really live. Whoever lives by the truth comes into the light. Just as there is joy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so is there immeasurable joy to see the light of Christ in our lives.

Yes, Light (Christ) came into the world so all who would but believe could see the light, walk in the light and experience the eternity Christ offers to all.

What good news! God’s light, the living light of Christ, has come into the world, ushering us out of darkness into eternal life.

Father God, Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to be our true Light in this world.  Amen.
