THE LIGHT

John 1:1-5
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word

1 In the beginning the Word already existed.


The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.


Before God began His creation work on earth, darkness was total. Christ, the eternal Word, brought light to the darkness and it has never been the same since. Our science teaches us that somewhere, the sun is always shining.

In like manner, since Jesus came into my life I have never been in total darkness spiritually. Things may seem dark in your life sometimes but you can always depend on Jesus to bring light to your darkest hour. “Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

And because Jesus brings you light, you can let your light shine for others. Brighten someone’s life today.
