The True Light
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. -John 1:9
From the top of a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, shines one of the brightest, most visible beams of light on the earth.
It’s so bright that a book could be read from its light miles away in space. At night, it also attracts insects, bats that feed on them, and owls that eat the bats. The city lights recently attracted a huge swarm of grasshoppers from miles around, dazzled by that unusually bright beam.
The light that shines from heaven is brighter still. But far from feeding any food chain, this divine source of light gives life to all who will come. John described it this way: “The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. . . . But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:9–10, 12).
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (8:12). The light of His perfect, loving life shines as the one true beacon of hope for everyone on earth who longs to come out of the darkness.
Through His cross and empty tomb, Jesus welcomes us to believe in Him and receive forgiveness, so that even we may become God’s cherished sons and daughters, and begin life anew in His love.
