Real Love

What is real love? That is a question that all of humanity has wrestled with. You see, we all need love. In fact, we were made for it! When God created man and woman, He did so in His own image and declared it good. And the Bible tells us over and over about the Father’s love for us.

There’s a hymn you may have heard before that says, “How deep the Father’s love for us; how vast beyond all measure…that He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.” Jesus told his disciples in John fifteen that “greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Did you know that Jesus—who is God Himself—not only came to earth but died on the cross for our sins in our place? Greater love has no one than this. And Jesus charges us to share His love with others.

Light in the Darkness

Sometimes, we can get discouraged by the darkness we see around us. Even turning on the news can cause us to lose hope. But let me share with you today second Corinthians four six (4:6), which says, “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

The world looks very similar to the way it was over two thousand years ago when Jesus first stepped foot on it. And just as He brought light to dark hearts then, He continues to do so now through transforming those who trust in Him from the inside out. He replaces our old, sinful hearts with new ones.

And as new creations, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, lighting our souls with joy and peace. So let’s not keep it to ourselves. Let’s share our faith and give the hope the Gospel to others.

Light and Salvation

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” This beautiful verse from Psalm twenty-seven teaches us an important truth about Jesus—He is our light and our salvation.

Jesus did not come just to be a good example and a great teacher for us—the Bible tells us that He is our Savior. Romans three says that “the wages of sin is death,” and every person who has sinned has to pay it. Jesus told his disciples that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”

Well, all means all—that’s all all means! Every human has fallen short of the standard. But praise be to God! Jesus was more than just another man—He was God in the flesh who died on the cross for our sins. He is our light and salvation. Who can you share this Good News with today?

I'm Going To Let It Shine

In the famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His disciples, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.[…]In the same way, let your light shine before others.” That is a big responsibility!

When people look at us, they should see the light of Jesus shining through. It reminds me of that age old song taught in Sunday school: “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…” Well, how do we shine for Jesus? Firstly, we need to continually grow in Him; and as we are sharpened and shaped to be more like Christ, we reflect who He is. But it can’t stop there.

We not only need to become more like Jesus; we also need to tell others about what He has done for us on the cross. Paul tells us that faith comes by hearing, and we want others to have the opportunity to know Jesus too!

Real Light

What does it mean to be real light to those around us? Actually, there is no one better to tell us than Jesus Himself. Our Savior declares about Himself in John 8, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

When we place our trust in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, His light lives in us. And we can shine it in our families, our communities, and our nations. And truly, we need to! There are so many things we try to substitute for it. We believe the lie that passions and success will fill us up with light and life, only to leave us empty. But hallelujah! Jesus made a way for us to have real light through His work on the cross.
