Live Life In The Light

“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;    I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people
    and a light for the Gentiles,
to open eyes that are blind,
    to free captives from prison
    and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness."

Isaiah 42:6-7 NIV

One does not have to be sentenced to prison in a dungeon in some far off corner of the world to be sitting in darkness. There are so many ways in which the world chooses to cloak itself in darkness. When eyes are closed to the hurtful things that are done to others; when hearts are closed to seeking justice; we choose to live in the darkness of unrighteousness.

Isaiah prophesied that one would come bringing a light into the world; opening our eyes to see, freeing us from life in perpetual darkness. He has come.

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:5-10

Live life! Live in the light of Christ!
