John 8:12-30 (New King James Version) 12 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.” CommentsNone 04/06/2010 18:31
What does it mean to follow Christ? As a soldier follows his captain, so we should follow Christ, our commander. As a slave follows his master, so we should follow Christ, our Lord. As we follow the advice of a trusted counselor so we should follow Jesus commands to us in Scripture. As we follow the laws of our nation, so we should follow the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Just as the moon reflects the sun's light, Jesus reflected the Father's light, life, and love on the earth. Those that follow the teachings of Christ, who become disciples of God's Word, written and spoken, walk in the light, in the revelation knowledge and life which God created us to be in. If we are truly discipled in His ways, we shall have no want of the light, as though in darkness. But we will HAVE the light and life and love, just as Jesus did.

Jesus is the light of the world. If we follow Him, if we walk in the Sonlight, then we are reflectors of His light. We are to reflect the light of The Son so that someone in darkness may see. I am talking here about Missions, Evangelism, Outreach, and Witnessing. By word and deed we are to reflect the light of Jesus into the lives of friends, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow students who live and walk in darkness. But do we? Do you ever witness to others about Christ the light of a sin-darkened world? Is there someone you are working on and praying for who knows only darkness and not light?

How many of us Christians live like we have the light of life? Are we filled with joy, or boggled down with depression? Are we adventurers or are we fearful of stepping out? If we are following Christ, we should be filled with light and life. Joyful, excited, eager!! We must be set apart from the darkness of the world. We have something to be so tremendously joyful about! Christ Jesus lives within us!
