Light of the world

when we turn on a light in a dark room....the darkness flees, the room is bathed in light....


this same thing happens when someone meets Jesus for the first time...


Jesus says “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”  John 8:12


when a person meets Jesus for the first time, when they ask Him to come into their life and save them....their eyes are truly opened, Jesus is truly revealed to them, because Jesus is Light....and before we accept Jesus we are in the darkness of evil and sin....but when Jesus comes into our life, the darkness flees just as it does when we light a candle, or turn on a light....


our hearts are lit up with the light of Jesus, yes we make mistakes in our life....everyone does....BUT we know that Jesus forgives and we try harder not to do wrong because we want to make His light brighter in our lives....


so if you havent asked Jesus into your heart yet, you can't truly understand the feeling that someone gets when they choose Jesus [sorry to say] you will only know the peace, happiness and light that is felt and seen, when you make the choice to follow the Light of the World.....


now I'm not trying to guilt anyone into doing anything, haha....I am just addressing this fact, because I have heard people of muslim, hindu and even Jehovah witnesses say that oh yeah they know peace....but honestly they don't...because the Bible says "Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7


so Only by our faith in Jesus can we know true peace, no one else can truly understand that sort of peace....yes some people experiance some ammount of peace....but not the type of peace that God gives....His peace is beyond anything we can truly understand, and it can only come from Him. Jesus says “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27
So the world cannot give the Kind of Peace that Jesus talks about....


people are always talking about wanting world peace....Only Jesus can Give True Peace though.....


so if you want true peace, true happiness, and light in your life....just ask Jesus


God Bless
