Topic: Follow Jesus and Have The Light of Life. Part 1
John 8: 12 - "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Failures, confusion and stress exists and pervade everywhere because there's the lack of a guiding light. "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you." (Isaiah 60:2). Without the light of life, man is doomed; and his life is futile, without meaning and devoid of purpose. God is the source of life and true living is only possible with a connection to Him, the true source.
It is with His light only that our lives are lightened. The Psalmist declares: "For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light." (Psa. 36: 9). Our key scripture noted that the one who follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. "Darkness" relates to whatever is of the devil and his kingdom, dimness of glory, obscurity, sorrow, sickness and pain, bo***ge etc. But we have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness and are now in the kingdom of God's dear son, Jesus (Col. 1:13). Therefore, we are to walk as children of light by following Jesus as noted in our key scripture.
What then does it mean to follow Jesus? Consider the disciples, it meant physically going with Jesus wherever he went or wherever he wanted them to go. This was mainly the case when Jesus walked on earth physically. "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matt. 4:19). However, Jesus is no longer here physically, so how do we follow him today? We follow Jesus through the Word and by the Word. Don't forget that Jesus himself is the Word of God made flesh (John 1: 14). So, to follow Him is to follow and obey the Word and to follow the Word is to follow and obey Him.
