12 Days of Christmas Devotional: Discovering the Real JesusSample

Day Ten: Jesus is the Light of the World.

"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.” — John 8:12

Imagine walking blindfolded through an unfamiliar room; you know that it is almost impossible to navigate from one side to the other without a single scratch, bump, or bruise. Life is a room that we are not able to easily navigate—without light.

Now imagine walking through the same room with the blindfold off, with light shining everywhere, eliminating all of the shadows and helping you avoid the chaos and the hurt that would have happened if you had been walking blindly in the dark. 

Jesus is our Light. 

Don’t be afraid of the dark. Psalm 139:12 says “even the darkness is not dark to Him.” Because He is light, He will supply you with the direction, the guidance, the energy you need in any situation. But how do we tap into the light of Jesus? 

Psalm 119:130 says, “The entrance of His Word brings light.” 

As we shine God’s promise on our situation, light will come and bring the energy needed to transform the situation. Light really does heal. And pure light—the light of Jesus—will heal and comfort and guide you today.  Jesus will light your way. He is the light. And He is the way.  

When Jesus came to this earth, He lit it up! He became the warmth for the coldest heart. He became the healing to the sickest condition. He became guidance to the most confused path. Trust Him today. He will light up any dark moment you are facing today. 

Say So: Jesus is the light of the world. He is my light. He provides light to warm my life, to guide my life and to heal my life. Even in the darkest of times, the entrance of God’s promise to my heart and mind will light my path and solve my situation, in Jesus’ Name.
