SHINE

In this message, we're challenged to examine the contrast between light and darkness in our spiritual lives. The Gospel of John introduces us to Jesus as the Word and the true light that gives light to everyone. This imagery of light permeates Scripture, reminding us that God's first act of creation was to bring forth light. We're called to recognize how darkness can subtly influence our lives, blurring the lines between right and wrong. The enemy often works through deception, making it difficult for us to discern when we've strayed from God's path. However, we're encouraged that walking in the light of Christ brings true life, peace, and joy. This message urges us to be vigilant, to 'arise and shine,' allowing God's glory to be seen in us. It's a call to action – to not only walk in the light ourselves but to be beacons of hope for those still trapped in darkness.
