JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from John 12:46.

Jesus said, “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”

Jesus fulfilled the words of the prophet Isaiah who said, “the people walking in darkness have seen a great light.”

We are walking in spiritual darkness until we step into the light of God’s grace, and the way to cross over from darkness to light is to put our faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

To believe in Jesus as Lord is to embrace Him for who He is. He is the Son of God, the Anointed One, the Lamb of God, sent from heaven to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. That was the meaning of His death on a cross.

To believe in Jesus as Savior, is to embrace what He is able to do for us. Because Jesus was obedient to His mission, He is able to completely forgive our sins and lead us to a faith that glows with His love. We can trust Him to do this for us.

This Light Reflection inspires us to believe in Jesus in the Year to Shine.
