Walk In The Light 

   “I am the light of the world.  The one who follows me will never walk in darkness.  Rather, he will have the light of his life.” (John 8: 12) 

   Imagine a candle.  Once it is lit, the light from that candle can be shared over and over again without ever diminishing.  Each new candle can be lit from that wick without ever taking any of the light from the candle.

   That is our Lord, Jesus Christ.  He is the light of the world, and His light can be shared all over the world with every person in the world.  His light is the light that lives are meant to know; a pure light, a light that knows no prejudices or hatreds, but only love.

   The light of Christ can never be overcome by Satan and his evil desires.  As long as we continue to walk in His light the evil one can’t draw us away though he will never give up trying.

    The only one who can extinguish the light of Christ within us is us.  We can refuse to walk in His light and turn to the darkness.  Sadly, many do exactly that.  St John said it quite clearly, "And the judgment is this: the light has come into the world, but people prefer darkness to light because their deeds were evil.” (John 3: 19).

   Receive the light, keep it burning bright and share it with others.  Those who do these things will know blessings beyond compare in this life and eternal joy in the next.
