The Light of the World

"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.  The light given by Christ provides clarity.  We walk with purpose and meaning.  The light given by Christ provides surety.  We walk knowing that our path is marked.  It is a way that is certain, free of doubt.  The light given by Christ provides purity.  We walk free of stain and blot.  The light of Christ gives knowledge.  We walk in the understanding of God's holiness.  The light of Christ provides responsibility.  We walk knowing our duty.  The light of Christ fills us with fear.  We walk in the reverence of God ever mindful of His majesty.  The light of Christ surrounds us with hope.  We walk knowing that God sustains.  To walk in the light of Christ is to live--truly live.
