God fulfilled this great promise of the prophet Isaiah with the coming of John the baptizer and Jesus (
Matthew 4:15-16;
Luke 1:76-79). Jesus came as the Light of the World (
John 9:5) to cast out the darkness of Satan, evil, and death (
John 12:31). So, as darkness falls tonight, find a street light and capture it in your memory to remind you to do two things every time you see such a light:
- Thank God for sending his Light, Jesus, to cast out our darkness.
- Commit to sharing that Light with those you know trapped in darkness.
Loving and eternal God, thank you for shining your Light into my heart through Jesus (
2 Corinthians 4:6). I ask you, dear Father, for the Holy Spirit's help as I use my words and actions to bless those around me. I want them to see the Light of your grace and salvation that Jesus brings. My heart yearns for others to find their hope in him, your Son, our Savior. So, I pray in Jesus' name, hoping my influence helps others see Jesus more clearly as the Light for their lives. Amen.
