May 10 Devotion - I Am The Light of the World


 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”

ثم كلمهم يسوع ايضا قائلا

انا هو نور العالم .من يتبعني فلا يمشي في الظلمة بل يكون له نور الحياة .

John 8:12

It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.

 

يَكْشِفُ الأَعْمَاقَ وَالْخَفَايَا وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي بَاطِنِ الظُّلْمَةِ، وَلَدَيْهِ يَسْكُنُ النُّورُ.

Daniel 2:22

Jesus and The Father are one. He came from The Father and is back with The Father.  Christ in calling himself the light expresses:

1. What He is in Himself—most excellent and glorious

2. What He is to the world—the fountain of light, enlightening every person

When we have Jesus in our hearts, and He is our world we do not walk in the darkness of this world. When we acknowledge Him as The Lord of our lives we become children of light.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can be ‘a son of light’. Strengthen me O’Lord to follow Jesus humbly and feel joy in becoming ‘Christ-like’ in my daily walk with Him. Enlighten me Jesus my light. Thank You Father for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me, Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. Lord, I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son, The King of kings and Lord of lords, my redeemer, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty, and the blessings before all time, now, and forevermore. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
