When Jesus spoke again to
the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
What is a light? According to Google, it is ‘the natural agent that
stimulates sight and make things visible.’ It gives our eyes brightness, so we
can see things clearly when it is night. This is the main reason that there are
street lights and lighthouses in the world. It can also be one of the home
appliances. Other than putting light bulbs on the ceilings of rooms, there are
lamps and nightlights we can use for the guidance of where things are when it
is a night time.
As an automobile needs its lights to know the right way to go when
it is dark, we need them for directions when it is dark. Of course, we can have
torches to go to dark places, but our spirit needs some lights too, in order to
determine which choices are right for us. Role models are people who give
inspiration to others and the ones who teaches what they want to learn. For
example, I consider my mentor as my role model. She has a such extrovert heart
for Jesus and I want to learn how to have that kind of heart by watching her
live. However, every people make
mistakes and do not know everything. Therefore, Jesus became our light. Although
Jesus is a perfect representation of God (Colossians 1:15-17), He was sent by God,
His Father, into the world (John 1:14), to show us the way to live (John 14:6-7). Romans 11:33-36 illustrates how much wisdom
and knowledge God has.
Tomorrow, I am going to continue part two of John 8:12 but meditate on your determination
in following Jesus.
