Faith in the DarkSample

Day 4 - From Shadows to Light

Nicodemus came to Jesus in the shadows.

But shadows don’t stay shadows when you’ve been with the Light.

We meet him first in John 3—coming quietly, seeking truth under cover of night. Then again in John 7—cautiously speaking up for Jesus among religious leaders. And finally, in John 19—boldly stepping forward after the crucifixion, carrying burial spices and helping lay Jesus in the tomb.

Publicly. Openly. Unashamed.

His journey wasn’t fast. But it was real.

Faith doesn’t always erupt like fireworks. Sometimes it unfolds like sunrise—slow, steady, and full of grace.

Nicodemus didn’t make a loud conversion speech. Jesus never pressured him to. But transformation was happening the whole time.

From whispered questions to quiet defense to undeniable devotion—grace was growing into boldness.

And it’s the same with us.

Maybe you still feel like you're in between—still unsure, still stepping cautiously, still learning what it means to be fully His.

That’s okay.

Nicodemus reminds us that Jesus honors the journey. He sees every step, even the small ones. Especially the small ones.

Faith is not measured by speed. It’s measured by direction.

If you’re moving toward Jesus—even slowly—you’re moving into the light.

And the light changes everything.

Ask Yourself

Where in your life are you still hiding?

What would it look like to step into the light—even just a little?

Let’s pray together

Jesus,

You never rushed Nicodemus—and You’re not rushing me.

Thank You for walking with me through every hidden corner of my heart.

I want to live in the light…

but I’m scared.

Give me courage.

Give me clarity.

Give me one small step.

Amen.
