NEVER

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

John 8:12
King James Version

Sometimes it gets very dark outside when it is raining or when the electricity goes off and sometimes when people say sarcastic and cruel words to us the light in our heart grows dim. However, Jesus is not only the light of the world, He is also the light in our heart and when people say things to us that hurts us, Jesus shines His light a little brighter in our heart.

Philip P. Bliss wrote one of my favorite hymns "The Light of the World is Jesus" I'm so glad the words in this beautiful hymn are true. "No darkness have we Who in Jesus abide; The Light of the world is Jesus! We walk in the light When we follow our Guide! The Light of the world is Jesus!" When we say sarcastic and cruel words to people, we might as well take a knife and plunge it into their heart.

Jesus does not want us to live a life filled with sadness and despair. Jesus tells us in the Bible. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Are you walking in the light of our precious Saviour or are you still walking in the darkness of satan?
