June 2025 – Month of THE LIGHT
sfanadminOur Month of THE LIGHT
John 1:6-9, John 8:12
In John 8:12, Jesus says that He is the light of the world. In other words, there is no other light. Jesus is the only light that can dispel darkness in your life.
The Bible says, in Genesis 1:1-5, that in the beginning, the earth was without form, it was void, and darkness covered the face of the deep. This means that darkness is associated with two principal things: confusion and emptiness. Confusion means disorder. For example, when you trace the root of a disorderly marriage, you will find a force of darkness in operation. Emptiness is the opposite of fullness. For example, when you trace the root cause of a womb that is empty instead of producing children, you will find a force of darkness in operation. Are you in darkness about yourself, your marriage, your finances, your future, your children or your health? Are you confused and having the feelings of emptiness, come to Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Follow Him and He will give you the light of life.
The Bible also uses darkness metaphorically to symbolize distress, mourning, perplexity, ignorance and death (Isaiah 9:1-2, Job 5:14) and moral depravity (John 3:19, Romans 13:12-13, Ephesians 5:11). We daily hear news of terrorism, war, oppression, sexual abuse, greed. There is also an abundance of pornography and filthy language. These are the realities of darkness in our world today.
Many people walk in darkness, “…in the futility of their minds, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, ignorant because of the blindness of their heart and working all uncleanness with greediness…” – Ephesians 4:17-29.
My prayer for you is that the light of Jesus Christ will shine into everything that resembles darkness in your life and that, according to Matthew 5:14, you will become a light to others who walk in darkness as you reflect the light of Jesus Christ in your own life.
Happy new month. Shalom.
