OUR LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

"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

Philip P. Bliss wrote one of my favorite hymns "The Light of the World Is Jesus". I love the words in this beautiful hymn .

"The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin, The Light of the world is Jesus! Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in; The Light of the world is Jesus!

Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee; Sweetly the light has dawned upon me; Once I was blind, but now I can see: The Light of the world is Jesus!"

Not only is Jesus the Saviour of the world, He is also our light in the darkness of despair and heartache. When people say and do things to hurt us, Jesus shines His light a little brighter in our heart.

Jesus knows how it feels to have people say and do things that hurt us. He had been ridiculed, cursed, beaten and left alone to die on the cross for our sins.

Nobody has ever felt the pain and anguish that Jesus has felt and nobody ever will. Thank You, Jesus, for caring about us and for loving us unconditionally.
