God has given us light His name is Jesus

I remember the time I spent with my grandparents as a small child. Their farm house was situated close to a large wooded area and our nearest neighbors lived a mile or two away. Many times grandpa and grandma Proffit would take us little children and go for an evening visit. 

The woods were a very dark and scary place to be after the sun went down. I remember grandpa took the lead holding his kerosene lantern out in front giving light for the rest of us to follow. Grandpa in front us children walking behind him and grandma following behind we followed the path through the woods until we reached our destination safely.

That is a lot like traveling through this dark and scary world there is trials and troubles we have to walk through and dangers that threaten our lives all about us. Many have allowed their lives to be destroyed because they try to make it through the darkness without any light to lead them to safety.

God has given us light His name is Jesus He walks out in front of us lighting the path that leads to an abundant life here on earth and at the end eternal life in the paradise He has gone to prepare for all who will follow His light to our final destination.

There is no excuse for living in the darkness of this present evil wicked world and dying in the sin that separates us from God.  God loves us and wants us to follow His light to safety.

John 3:16-17

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
