Live In The Light Of Christ

Photo by Judy Mattson
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12 KJV)

The men had been about to stone a woman they accused of being an adulteress; but, Jesus stopped them. He told them that the one without sin should cast the first stone. No stones were thrown. Not a one of them could condemn her. He gives relief to the woman saying that neither does he condemn her.  She is free to go and sin no more. She is free from her sins to live in the light of Christ.  

It would behoove us all to welcome this freedom from sin; this absolution, and to live in the light of Christ. As humans we tend to strive to keep our sins hidden and so we end up living in the darkness. The darkness is a nothing more than a prison. It keeps us enslaved. But by living in the light of Christ we are free to live an abundant life now and in the age to come.

Live life! Follow the light of life who is Jesus the Christ the one who loves you and died that you might be absolved of all of your sins so that you can truly live life!

Going Forward

Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isa 43:16, 18-19 KJV)

The Lord has made a way forward for those who would follow in the path He has set for us. It would behoove us to move forward instead of clinging to the past and our old ways. That is at least if we truly want peace instead of chaos; if we truly want joy rather than sorrow.

Doing the same things over and over again that got you no where before and will get you no where now is not the way to go. 

There is a way laid out before us in the wilderness of this world. That way is Jesus. Follow him and know the peace and joy of God's eternal presence.
